Zach Bryan - This Road I Know lyrics

There's this flash I get often
A fever dream or a vision of sorts
Most times late at night
And I haven't found out why
But I know exactly why
I'm on this road, and I
Hear gravel underneath me
And I feel it too
And I don't know where I am
But I know exactly where I am
It's dark, it's really dark
And the car is warm
But somehow I can feel how cold the night is

I don't know where the road leads
But I know exactly where it ends
You see, I keep driving
And all I see for the
Longest while is my headlights
For an eternity, it seems
And everything is desolate and empty
And nothing and hopeless
I'm lost, but I know where I'm
Going, I'm safe, I'm warm
I'm driving
And I see this small light
A dim one
Growing bigger and brighter and
Closer and stronger
And the closer I get, the more I see
I make out a house with light
Strewn across it, a porch
Some cars

Some frosted windshields that hadn't
Been touched for hours
I hear a song, and it's faint
I can't make out the name
But I know every word
I feel my feet first, and
It's cold and they're crunching
And it's the sound of driveways
And the wind takes my breath with it
And then I walk up to this door and I knock
Even though I feel I don't have to
And I don't know where I am
But I know exactly where I am
And this crack of light widens on this
Porch underneath me as this door opens
And this brown haired girl
With the brightest smile
I don't know who she is
But I know her so well
And behind her

The warmest home I'd ever seen
It's orange and comfortable
There's fire and it's bulb-lit
She says, "Where have you been?
We've been waiting on you all night
We've missed you"
She says through the kindest smirk
I'd seen in so long
Then she tapers off the sentence with they
With the peaceful sound that a lady makes
She grabs me on my forearms
Pulls softly into the dining room
There's people and they're happy and
They're content for one
I don't know who they are
But I know exactly who they are
And we're all standing and I'm laughing at
A joke I'll never hear again
I don't know where I am but
I know exactly where I am
And then she tucks her head between
My collar as a friend

Between my collar and my jaw
And there's no weight at all
And I don't know where I am
But there's no weight at all
It's laughter and grins and
No tomorrow to win
And I don't know where I am
But I know exactly where I am
I don't know where I am
But I know exactly where I am
