Murphy Road

Lyrics

Verse 1:
On Murphy Road, I learned to drive
Hands at ten-and-two, felt alive
Gravel dust behind my wheels
Chasing freedom, learning how it feels

Verse 2:
On Murphy Road, we’d pass the time
Windows down, summer nights sublime
Radio loud beneath Midwest stars
First love shining brighter than cars

Chorus:
On Murphy Road, I found my wings
On Murphy Road did foolish things
Gasoline dreams at seventeen
On Murphy Road, I came alive
Drove in a boy, a man arrived

Verse 3:
There’s a curve out east, my heart still knows
Where I kissed her first by the corn that grows
Dented fenders taught me pride won’t last
Lessons learned rolling way too fast

Chorus:
On Murphy Road, I found my wings
On Murphy Road did foolish things
Gasoline dreams at seventeen
On Murphy Road, I came alive
Drove in a boy, a man arrived

Bridge:
Never drank, never smoked, didn’t need that rush
Just gravel roads and my teenage crush
Stories written on nights we spent
Laughing loud, living innocent

Final Chorus:
On Murphy Road, I found my wings
On Murphy Road did foolish things
Gasoline dreams at seventeen
On Murphy Road, I came alive
Drove in a boy, a man arrived

Tag:
Yeah, Murphy Road still calls my name
Some roads change you, some stay the same
