This Road I Know - Zach Bryan

作词：Zachary Lane Bryan

There's this flash I get often a fever dream or a vision of sorts

Most times late at night

And I haven't found out why but I know exactly why

I'm on this road and I hear gravel underneath me and I feel it too

And I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am

Its dark It's really dark

And the car is warm but somehow I can feel how cold the night is

I don't know where the road leads but I know exactly where it ends

You see I keep driving

And all I see for the longest while is my headlights

for an eternity it seems

And everything is desolate and empty and nothing and hopeless

I'm lost but I know where I'm going

I'm safe I'm warm I'm driving

And I see this small light

A dim one growing bigger and brighter and closer and stronger

And the close I get the more I see

I make out a house with light strewn across it a porch and cars

Some frosted windshields that haven't been touched for hours

I hear a song and it's faint

I can't make out the name but I know every word

I feel my feet first and it's cold and there crunching

and its the sound of driveways

And the wind takes my breath with it

And I walk up to this door and knock

even though I feel like I don't have to

And I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am

And this crack of light widens on this porch underneath me as this door opens

And this brown haired girl with the brightest smile

I don't know who she is but I know her so well

And behind her the warmest home I've ever seen

Its orange and comfortable There's fire and it's bulb-lit

She says Where have you been

I've been waiting for you all night we've missed you

She says with the kindest smirk I've seen in so long

Then she tapers off the sentence with the peaceful sound that a lady makes

She grabs me on the forearms and pulls softly into the dining room of sorts

There's people and they're happy and content for one

I don't know who they are but I know exactly who they are

We're all standing and I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear again

I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am

And then she tucks her head between my collar as a friend

Between my collar and my jaw and there's no weight at all

And I don't know where I am but there's no weight at all

It's laughter and greens and no tomorrow to win

And I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am

I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am
