Emotions, memories, and music have always traveled together, and for me, most of that traveling has happened on the road. We've got songs like Country Roads by John Denver, Running on Empty by Jackson Browne, On the Road Again by Willie Nelson, and even the Eagles' Take It Easy, where they're "runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen their load"... too many beans, whatever t

Lyrics
Traces of You © [Year] Joseph Vetro (SOCAN)
All rights reserved. Music and Lyrics by Joseph Vetro
Verse 1
Highway stretches wide, the horizon in view,
I pull to the shoulder where dusk meets the blue.
Dial up your number just to hear you say,
"Wherever you're headed, I'm with you today."
Verse 2
Your voice like a beacon that steadies my way,
As the nights fall behind, I feel you each day.
Every mile's a heartbeat, steady and strong,
Each winding turn brings me where I belong.
Chorus
Down a dusty road
Where the highway unwinds,
Where whispering wind tells a story of life
In the heart of the city, where echoes remain,
Find traces of you
In every road I take.
Verse 3
Headlights carve memories deep into night,
A tapestry glowing with moments of light.
The engine hums softly like a song we once knew,
And every sound carries me closer to you.
Chorus
Down a dusty road
Where the highway unwinds,
Where whispering wind tells a story of life
In the heart of the city, where echoes remain,
Find traces of you
In every road I take.
?? Solo
Bridge
The whispers of the road softly call out your name,
As the dashboard light glows like a candle's warm flame.
With both hands on the wheel, and dawn drawing near,
I feel you beside me, calming each fear.
Verse 4
The counter still holds that old jukebox glow,
And I sit in the booth where we once used to go.
The locals still hum that familiar tune,
While the moment it hangs in the dim afternoon.
Final Chorus
Down a dusty road
Where the highway unwinds,
Where whispering wind tells a story of life
In the heart of the city, where echoes remain,
Find traces of you
In every road I take.
Down a dusty road
Where the highway unwinds,
Where whispering wind tells a story of life
In the heart of the city, where echoes remain,
Find traces of you
In every road I take.
