The Journey

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Headlights blastin', asphalt screams Another town, another teenage dream Windows rolled down, singin' off-key loud Destination nowhere, just chasin' the crowd [Pre-Chorus] Always lookin' forward, never lookin' back Thinkin' happiness is on the next railroad track But the miles tick by, the scenery fades Is this all there is? Is this what life portrays? [Chorus] Maybe they were wrong, all those graduation lies 'Cause the future's lookin' blurry through tear-stained eyes It's not the finish line, it's the bumpy road This is the journey, gotta learn to unload [Verse 2] Dead-end jobs and late-night talks Empty promises and late night walks Fightin' with my best friend, slammin' the door This ain't the picture I'm painting anymore [Pre-Chorus] Always lookin' forward, never plantin' seeds Thinkin' paradise is behind those trees But the days grow long, the nights grow cold Is this all there is? Is this story untold? [Chorus] Maybe they were wrong, all those graduation lies 'Cause the future's lookin' blurry through tear-stained eyes It's not the finish line, it's the bumpy road This is the journey, gotta learn to unload [Bridge] Scars on my knuckles, dirt under my nails These are the memories that life unveils The detours and wrong turns, the laughter and tears These are the moments that conquer my fears [Chorus] Maybe they were wrong, all those graduation lies 'Cause the future's lookin' blurry through tear-stained eyes It's not the finish line, it's the bumpy road This is the journey, gotta learn to unload [Outro] This is the journey, gotta take it on my own This is the journey, yeah, never grow old This is the journey, let time unfold This is the journey, our story untold
