Verse 1 The sun sinks low on the desert sky, Shadows stretch as the night draws nigh. Dust on my boots, miles on my soul, Chasing dreams that never grow old. The wind hums low, whispers my name, Echoes of heartache, a love I can’t tame. Each step I take feels like a fight, But the stars light the way tonight. Chorus It’s a long road home when you’ve lost your way, Every mile just pulls me farther away. The strings of my heart play a lonesome tune, Under the spell of the southern moon. Verse 2 A six-string hums in a smoky bar, Telling stories of battles and scars. The whiskey burns, but it warms my hand, As I play for a ghost I can’t understand. I hear your laugh in the midnight breeze, Feel your touch in the trembling leaves. But you’re just a dream I can’t let go, On this endless road I roam. Chorus It’s a long road home when you’ve lost your way, Every mile just pulls me farther away. The strings of my heart play a lonesome tune, Under the spell of the southern moon. Bridge Freestyle guitar wails like a mournful cry, Bassline smooth, keeps the rhythm alive. Drums beat slow, like a heart in pain, Carrying the weight of love’s sweet refrain. Outro Now the dawn breaks through, paints the sky gold, I’ll keep walking till I find my soul. The road bends on, but I’m not alone, The music guides me to my long road home.

[Verse] Gelap malam ku berjalan Tanpa dirimu di tanganku Kau pergi dengan mudahnya Seperti angin di waktu lalu [Verse 2] Tak ada lagi senyum itu Hambarnya kisah kita dulu Langkahmu menjauh dariku Seperti cerita Terhapus bayangmu [Chorus] Ku katakan aku tidak mencintaimu lagi Setelah semua yang kita lewati Tak ada lagi luka di hatiku ini Aku berdiri tanpa ragu lagi [Bridge] Kenangan hanyalah fatamorgana Mencoba meraih namun sia-sia Sekarang ku bebas dari derita Hatiku kini penuh warna [Verse 3] Langit cerah Awan berpindah Semua hilang Tiada sisa Kuberi waktu tuk kau berubah Namun kau memilih tuk menyerah [Chorus] Ku katakan aku tidak mencintaimu lagi Setelah semua yang kita lewati Tak ada lagi luka di hatiku ini Aku berdiri tanpa ragu lagi

[Verse] Down by the old river bend so clear, Where whispers of yesterday linger near, We carved our names in the sycamore tree, Now my heart lies in Tennessee. [Verse 2] Clouds rolled on as we danced in the rain, Your laughter like a sweet, loving refrain, Moonlight and starlight, they watched us be, Just two souls in Tennessee. [Chorus] Tennessee nights, with you by my side, In your arms, love was my guide, Wherever I roam, wherever I be, My heart lies in Tennessee. [Verse 3] Mornin’ dew on the cabin floor, Morning kisses, wanting more, Days were golden, wild and free, You and me in Tennessee. [Verse 4] Seasons change, yet love stands true, Fields of green faded into shades of blue, Years roll by, but you're all I see, In the hills of Tennessee. [Chorus] Tennessee nights, with you by my side, In your arms, love was my guide, Wherever I roam, wherever I be, My heart lies in Tennessee.

[Verse] In the early dawn, under a pale blue sky, Riley's howlin' breaks the night, a sorrowful cry. With his nose to the ground, he’s always on the trail, Chasin’ shadows and dreams, through the morning veil. [Verse 2] In the fields we roam, where the tall grass sways, Riley's chasing critters through the endless days. With his ears floppin' down, and his tail waggin' wide, He's my faithful companion, always by my side. [Chorus] Oh, Riley the hound, you're the heart of this land, With your soulful eyes and a muddy-pawed hand. In every bark and bay, there's a story you tell, Of ancient forests and an old church bell. [Verse 3] By the riverside, where the waters run clear, Riley pauses to listen, his senses finely tuned here. Birdsong and whispers, a symphony profound, Together we wander, no need to turn around. [Verse 4] When the night draws near and the fire's aglow, Riley curls up close, where the embers glow slow. His dreams dance wild, in the flickering light, Chasin' moonlit hares till the break of daylight. [Bridge] Years may come and go, but some things stay true, Riley’s faithful heart, in skies of gray and blue. Through every season’s turn, in the fields and the town, He's my steadfast hound, never letting me down.

[Verse] Palm trees swayin' in the gentle breeze, Sunrise prayers on bended knees, From mountain tops to ocean blue, We lift our hearts in faith so true. [Verse 2] Fishing boats sail at break of dawn, Neighbors callin' as the day goes on, In this land, we stand as one, Beneath the same old faithful sun. [Chorus] Island heart, where love is strong, In the Lord's light, we all belong, Hand in hand through joy and pain, In His grace, we'll rise again. [Verse 3] Church bells ring at Sunday’s break, Families gather by the lake, Sharing stories from days gone by, United under heaven’s sky. [Verse 4] Children’s laughter fills the air, In this paradise, we care, Though miles apart, we stay so near, Through His love, we conquer fear. [Chorus] Island heart, where love is strong, In the Lord's light, we all belong, Hand in hand through joy and pain, In His grace, we’ll rise again.

“I've spent a lifetime lost in dreaming, aching for a soul that feels like you, So don’t you dare let doubt creep in, not for an instant, 'cause I’ll never set you free, Not today, nor in the soft embrace of tomorrow’s dawn, Not through the changing seasons that weave the tapestry of our lives. You’re not just the gentle wish that has whispered secrets in the still of night, You are my vivid truth, my radiant reality, the pulse within my heart, And I can’t even begin to fathom a world that’s painted without your light— You’re the sun that breaks the darkness, the star that guides my way, In every color of the sunset, in every breath I take, Together, we’ll carve our names in the constellations, For you’re the symphony I dance to, the love that makes me whole."
