The ultimate ride

I woke up to the sound of the rain,
highway stretched out, in a worn-out chain,
the engine roared to life,
I knew it was time to meet my wife.

Behind the wheel, I felt alive,
the open road my only guide,
i was chasing cool sunsets,
i was gambling without regrets.

This is my last ride, I'm leaving it all,
the ghosts of my past, love is my goal,
i'm driving into the night, with the wind,
i'm chasing the freedom, in my mind.

The miles flew by like autumn leaves,
my mind was worried about casino recieves,
as I drove through the twilight's hue,
and the world was full of mystery anew.

I thought of all the roads I'd traveled,
all the worries to my wife that i led,
the places I'd never known, the people behind,
with stories yet untold that will be a remind.

This is my last ride, I'm leaving it all behind,
the ghosts of my past, the love that left unwind,
i'm driving into the night, with the wind at my back,
i'm chasing the freedom, that I never had.

I'll take the highway to the sky, where the sun dips into the sea,
i'll leave my footprints on the sand, where the waves washed them free,
i'll find my peace of mind, where the world is wild and wide,
and I'll ride the wind, until I reach the other dark side.

The engine's quiet now, the road is dark and still,
i've left my mark on the highway, where the sun will rise and set,
and though I'll never forget, the roads that I've been on,
this is my for sure my last ride, and I'm finally going home.
