Country Roads Lyrics Novels & Stories

*Poppy* As we ventured onto the familiar road, the first mile leading to my hometown, my heart raced with anticipation. The sun, high in the sky, cast a bright light over the treetops, creating a magical scene that marks the beginning of our journey. With the road stretching ahead like the path to a lion's cave, we advanced, armed with nothing but our courage and determination. In the background, my daughter's sweet voice, wishing me a safe journey, was a constant source of motivation.

I pull the car out onto the highway, and Lily’s face lights up. “Where are we going?” “You’ll see.” I smirk, turning the volume of the radio up a little.Take a Chance on Meby ABBA plays from the stereo and the lyrics leave me deep in thoughts throughout the ride.Lily watches out the window the entire ride too, her mind obviously plagued by the same thoughts that plague me.

From then on I only dream, my mind conjuring the different lives I might have. I’m on a country road, traveling down a strange but lovely path. I’m surrounded by flowers on either side, in the middle of a sprawling valley. There are mountains in the distance, and moonlight casts shadows over the ground in front of me. I graze my fingers over the blooms burgeoning at my sides, moving forward even though part of me wants to stop and take in my surroundings. I cannot seem to slow down or make my feet still, and after a while I realize that I’m not traveling on a road at all, but in time. Time, which presses on whether we want it to or not, and regardless of whether we’re ready for the future aw

Ciro was beside him — a man I had met twice before, broad-shouldered and sparing with words, the kind of presence that made a room feel smaller simply by entering it. Nobody spoke as I got in. The city peeled away around us as we drove — first the familiar streets, then the wider arterial roads, then the motorway opening up into the grey pre-dawn landscape of the countryside beyond. Hills. Sparse trees. The particular emptiness of land that hadn't been asked to be anything yet. I watched the road and said nothing and thought about my mother. Ninety minutes passed the way they do when every kilometre feels like a commitment.

his eyes full of tenderness, contentment, devotion. Cassian, Cassian. A disciplined heir like you was always meant for a gentle, obedient, well‑bred lady. If you lifted the veil today and found out the bride had been switched... you’d probably be even happier. The driver asked, “Miss, where to?” I smiled. He walks toward his family's honor. I ride toward my city of freedom. In the end, we take our separate roads.

Andras is griping about my music because we have listened to Willie Nelson 'On The Road Again' five times and 'Slow Ride' by Foghat three times. It's when I start singing to 'Midnight Rider' by The Allman Brothers that Andras can no longer hold back his laugh. I am moving my shoulders back and forth in a weird upper body dance, singing as loud as I can, “And the road goes on forever... and I've got one more.. silver dollar... But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me.. no... I'm not gonna let em catch the midnight rider...” “Beautiful!” Andras claps and I bow.

A broken heart is all that's left I'm still fixing all the cracks Lost a couple of pieces when I carried it, carried it, carried it home I'm afraid of all I am (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) My mind feels like a foreign land (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Silence ringing inside my head (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Please, carry me, carry me, carry me home I've spent all of the love I saved We were always a losing game Small-town boy in a big arcade I got addicted to a losing game Suddenly another car crashed into mine. "What the hell" I stopped and got out of the car "oh god! And people say women can't drive" my nose flared with anger. There was a big dent in my car. As I was examining the damage, the dr

*Rob* After years in the military, I consider myself comfortable with GPS and getting around in new places. But following the GPS directions to the Hammond farm, even coming from a place as small as the college community around St. Mary’s, I feel like I’m navigating every rat run and Bob’s Road in the county. In the stretch of about a mile, I’m certain I’ve passed the entirety of the town.

He would approach her cautiously and ask, "Mom, can you read with me?" Beatrice hesitated as she took a sip, her eyes clouded with thought. "I'm busy. I don't have time for that," was her usual response to him. As the memory came to mind, a sudden, inexplicable irritation coursed through her chest.
