Northbound Project

I’ll follow the first light, wherever it goes.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Coffee on the dashboard Windows half rolled down Morning finds the gravel road Long before the town A river bends beside me Like it always knew Somewhere in the silence The sky begins to bloom

Chorus

I’ll follow the first light Wherever it goes Past the sleeping houses Past the fields of gold Nothing needs explaining Nothing needs a name Every mile reminds me I’m already on my way

Verse 2

An old bridge keeps my footsteps Though I’ve never stayed Every road remembers Someone passing through its shade Smoke above a chimney Birds above the trees Every little moment Moves as slow as me

Chorus

I’ll follow the first light Wherever it goes Past the winding river Where the wild grass grows Nothing lasts forever That’s alright with me The morning keeps unfolding One quiet mile at a time

Bridge

If tomorrow calls me somewhere I won’t ask it why Some roads aren’t for finding They’re only meant to drive

Final Chorus

I’ll follow the first light Till the day grows old Gathering small stories More precious than gold The road keeps moving forward So I’ll do the same With the sunrise in my mirror And the world awake again
