The Scenic Route

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nThe map is on the floor\nI don't need it anymore\nThe engine hums a low tune\nUnderneath the afternoon\nThe radio is playing soft\nLifting all my worries aloft\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe exit sign was faded green\nA place I've never seen\nI took the turn on a whim\nWatching as the light grew dim\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the beauty in the stray\nFinding wonder on the way\nNo destination in my mind\nJust the peace I came to find\nLet the wheels keep spinning slow\nWhere the wilder grasses grow\n\n[Verse]\nI found a diner by the creek\nWhere the coffee's strong and weak\nOld men talking 'bout the rain\nHealing every hidden pain\nThe sunlight hits the dusty glass\nWatching all the shadows pass\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe gravel crunched beneath the tire\nSetting all my thoughts on fire\nA simple song began to play\nLeading me further away\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the beauty in the stray\nFinding wonder on the way\nNo destination in my mind\nJust the peace I came to find\nLet the wheels keep spinning slow\nWhere the wilder grasses grow\n\n[Bridge]\nI thought I knew the road ahead\nBy the stories I had read\nBut the curves are where I breathe\nIn the magic they bequeath\nNo rush to reach the silver line\nThis unplanned moment feels divine\n\n[Solo]\n\n[Verse]\nThe fence posts count the miles\nTrading miles for easy smiles\nI see the hawks begin to soar\nI'm not searching for a door\nThe sky is painting shades of gold\nA story waiting to be told\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the beauty in the stray\nFinding wonder on the way\nNo destination in my mind\nJust the peace I came to find\nLet the wheels keep spinning slow\nWhere the wilder grasses grow\n\n[Outro]
