817 Songtext
von Oval Opus
817 Songtext
Duffle bag on my shoulder, ticket in my hand
I′ve got a guitar on my back
Heading west to the promise of a future, yeah
Smoky clouds predict my fate
Of fortune and uncertainty
Not sure how the road's gonna ride, yeah
Leaving you behind and it hurts me, yeah
The road of whites carrying me through the night and
The flash of headlights in my eyes and the breathing down my neck
In my journal in my hand I write
Capture the essence of the ride
Meet new friends every hour
Sharing advice and the stories of life
Everybody′s got a tale
So open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say goodbye, yeah
Traveling to a new beginning
The hours fly past on my faulty watch
From one stop to another, yeah
Mostly writing, rarely talking 'bout things that I'm hearing
And it often makes me smile
Then curiosity overwhelms me
Until I fall into sleep
The stories unravel in my mind
I struggle with reflection of the fire in the water
I can hear the tick of time, yeah
The road of whites carrying me through the night and
The flash of headlights in my eyes and the breathing down my neck
In my journal in my hand I write
Capture the essence of the ride
Meet new friends every hour
Sharing advice and the stories of life
Everybody′s got a tale
So open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say goodbye, yeah
I can feel the heat beating down on my bare feet
From the pavement of the yard by the window
I watch that crescent moon rise up
I can see the wind blowing through the fields of weeds
So I check the mailbox and I grab the letter
I see that you have finally found me
Then happiness fills my soul ′til I realize
I'm dreaming, this is not reality, yeah
The road of whites carrying me through the night and
The flash of headlights in my eyes and the breathing down my neck
In my journal in my hand I write
Capture the essence of the ride
Meet new friends every hour
Sharing advice and the stories of life
Everybody′s got a tale
So open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say goodbye, yeah
With my journal in my hand I write
Capture the essence of the ride
Meet new friends every hour
Sharing advice and the stories of life
Everybody's got a tale
So open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say goodbye
Traveling to a new beginning
I′ve got a guitar on my back
Heading west to the promise of a future, yeah
Smoky clouds predict my fate
Of fortune and uncertainty
Not sure how the road's gonna ride, yeah
Leaving you behind and it hurts me, yeah
The road of whites carrying me through the night and
The flash of headlights in my eyes and the breathing down my neck
In my journal in my hand I write
Capture the essence of the ride
Meet new friends every hour
Sharing advice and the stories of life
Everybody′s got a tale
So open yourself to the thrill of the moment
You exchange a word and say goodbye, yeah
Traveling to a new beginning
The hours fly past on my faulty watch
From one stop to another, yeah
Mostly writing, rarely talking 'bout things that I'm hearing
And it often makes me smile
