[Verse 1][Male Singer]

Sunrise paints the mountain gold, another story to unfold

Coffee steams, the air is crisp, a morning promise on my lips

[Chorus][Harmonies]

Oh, the simple life, the open road, a heavy heart, a lighter load

With every mile, a memory fades, beneath the sun, through leafy glades

[Verse 2][Banjo]

Dusty boots upon the ground, where wildflowers bloom and dreams are found

A rambling heart, a restless soul, searching for a story to make whole

[Chorus][Harmonies]

Oh, the simple life, the open road, a heavy heart, a lighter load

With every mile, a memory fades, beneath the sun, through leafy glades

[Bridge][Harmonica Solo]

(Wistful harmonica melody)

[Verse 3][Male Singer]

The river flows, a constant friend, whispering secrets without end

Of changing tides and shifting sands, and futures held within our hands

[Chorus][Harmonies]

Oh, the simple life, the open road, a heavy heart, a lighter load

With every mile, a memory fades, beneath the sun, through leafy glades

[Outro][Acoustic Guitar]

(Gentle strumming fades)

The simple life, the open road...

(Fade to silence)
