Interstate Song

Interstate Song

A beaten path
So many travel
Not knowing what it hath
Been a long while ago

It stretches for miles
Across the land
Which silently sings
With the cords of an interstate

Every traveler hears a tale
From the cracked road
That's as unique as their own
In the interstate's song

The sad tale of a rodeo cowboy
Is told to the big city boy
His heartache from his rough patch
Is only told to that one boy
Who sees a buckin' bronco pleasing

His story is left behind on the road
For others to simply discover
While the interstate sings its song

It stretches for miles
Across the land
Which silently sings
With the cords of an interstate

Every traveler hears a tale
From the cracked road
That's as unique as their own
In the interstate's song

A young musician once traveled
Down this stretch of 35
Makin' these old bars years ago
Be filled with music and laughter
Makin' them come alive

Her story is left in these bumps
She sings with the interstate
Telling the tale of her fate
To the young girl of today

It stretches for miles
Across the land
Which silently sings
With the cords of an interstate

Every traveler hears a tale
From the cracked road
That's as unique as their own
In the interstate's song

The tale of the ranger now resides
In the song of the interstate
As it tells his adventures
To the upcoming farmer

The legend of his last battle
Is recited by the interstate
Past the newborn cattle
Down to the young farm boy

It stretches for miles
Across the land
Which silently sings
With the cords of an interstate

Every traveler hears a tale
From the cracked road
That's as unique as their own
In the interstate's song
