Wagon Road

Verse 1 Down by the old stone gate where the lanterns burn low, I caught a ride with a wagon train moving through the snow. Ironwood wheels and a canvas sky stitched tight, And every soul inside that cart was running from the night. The driver said, “Boy, if you’ve got coin or steel, You can ride with us till the world starts to heal.” So I climbed up slow, with my pack and my blade, And I learned the road’s a promise that’s never quite made. Chorus Sway me now on the wagon road, Dreaming of home where the firelight glowed. Mama’s hands and the morning bread’s gold— Oh, sway me now, don’t let me go. Verse 2 Through ironwood passes and river fog bends, Where the caravan fires make strangers of friends, There’s coin in the hand and steel at your side, And a dozen small stories you bury to ride. The merchant says, “Guard well what you’re owed,” But the wind knows your name on this broken old road, And every new mile that the wagons have rolled Leaves something behind you don’t hold. Chorus Sway me now on the wagon road, Dreaming of home where the firelight glowed. Mama’s hands and the morning bread’s gold— Oh, sway me now, don’t let me go. Verse 3 I remember the table, the salt in the air, The creak of the floorboards, the worn wooden chair, And laughter that followed me out of the door Like a promise I’d catch if I wandered no more. But the road doesn’t care for the names that you knew, It trades them for dust and a sky turning blue, And I swear I still hear it when night settles through— A voice saying “boy, come on through.” Bridge Sway me now through the lanterned night, Sway me now ‘til the embers bite. Sway me now where the lost things lie— Somewhere between the road and sky. And I don’t know if I’m coming back whole, Or just chasing the shape of a place called home… Final Chorus Sway me now on the wagon road, Dreaming of home where the firelight glowed. Mama’s hands and the morning bread’s gold— Oh, sway me now, don’t let me go.
