Drakeford - The Road

〈Verse 1〉
Two months now that we've been on the road
Ten thousand miles but we're finally home
And I don't even mind all the clothes on the floor
Because in two weeks time we'll be traveling some more
And our neighbors all probably forgot we exist
The mail box is full and not a letter will fit
And I hate to imagine all the things that we miss
But the thought of being out makes it hard to resist

〈Pre-Chorus〉
Ohh
They say that home is where your heart is, heart is
I guess that means that my heart lives on the road

〈Chorus〉
I wasn't made to live as usual
I'm on the search for something more beautiful
I know the road takes a toll
But all I can say, is "I wouldn't trade it for anything
No, I wouldn't trade it for anything

〈Verse 2〉
The refrigerator's empty and there's nothing to eat
I'm socially exhausted and I don't wanna leave
So I'll gladly ignore that the house isn't clean
Because it doesn't really matter if it doesn't get seen

〈Pre-Chorus〉
Ohh
They say that home is where your heart is, heart is
I guess that means that my heart lives on the road

〈Chorus〉
I wasn't made to live as usual
I'm on the search for something more beautiful
I know the road takes a toll
But all I can say, is "I wouldn't trade it for anything
No, I wouldn't trade it for anything

〈Bridge〉
It's not as glamorous as you might think it is
It takes a lot of time and even more discipline
But it's worth the sacrifice if you've got something to say

〈Chorus〉
I wasn't made to live as usual
I'm on the search for something more beautiful
I know the road takes a toll
But all I can say, is "I wouldn't trade it for anything
No, I wouldn't trade it for anything

“If you want to know what grace sounds like, this is it. Drakeford’s music is the kind of sound that’s akin to a cold lemonade on a sunny day and warm coffee while hiding from the rain with friends. Folksy at it’s heart, the band blends genres from all around the world while remaining honest, humorously and painfully honest about the value of a human life in Christ.

Following an appearance on American Idol in 2009, Drakeford took his music and his love for Christ outside of America, writing songs, experimenting with genres, and performing with his wife and partner Lucy-Jayne in areas such as the Balkans, Central Asia, North Africa, and the British Isles. Now they’re back in America and ready to share what they’ve learned about music, people, and the grace of God in the midst of it.“ – E.S. Caldwell
