This a poem I wrote called "This Road I Know"
🎸 Verse :
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
There's this flash I get often, a fever dream or a vision of sorts
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
Most times late at night and I haven't found out why, but I know exactly why
FF C majorC
I'm on this road, and I hear gravel underneath me, and I feel it too
G+G A minorAm
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
It's dark, it's really dark and the car is warm, but somehow I can feel how cold the night is
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
I don't know where the road leads, but I know exactly where it ends
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
You see
I keep driving, and all I see for the longest while is my headlights for an eternity, it seems
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
And everything is desolate and empty and nothing and hopeless
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
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
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
A augmentedA dim one, growing brighter and bigger and closer and stronger and the closer I get, the more I see
FF C majorC G+G
I make out a house with light strewn across it, a porch, some cars
A minorAm FF
Some frosted windshields that hadn't been touched for hours
C majorC G+G A minorAm
I hear a song, and it's faint
I can't make out the name, but I know every word
FF C majorC G+G A minorAm
I feel my feet first, and it's cold and they're crunching, and it's the sound of driveways
FF C majorC
And the wind takes my breath with it
G+G A minorAm
And then I walk up to this door and I knock, even though I feel I don't have to
FF C majorC
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
G+G A minorAm FF
And this crack of light widens on this porch underneath me as this door opens
C majorC G+G
And this brown-haired girl with the brightest smile
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
I don't know who she is, but I know her so well and behind her, the warmest home I'd ever seen
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G
It's orange and comfortable, there's fire and it's bulb-lit
A minorAm
She says
FF C majorC G+G
"Where have you been? We've been waiting on you all night, we've missed you"
A minorAm FF
She says through the kindest smirk I'd seen in so long
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Then she tapers off the sentence with the, with the peaceful sound that a lady makes
FF C majorC
She grabs me on my forearms, pulls softly into the dining room
G+G A minorAm
There's people and they're happy and they're content for one
FF C majorC
I don't know who they are, but I know exactly who they are
G+G A minorAm
And we're all standing and I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear again
FF C majorC
I don't know where I am but I know exactly where I am
G+G A minorAm
And then she tucks her head between my collar as a friend
FF
Between my collar and my jaw, and there's no weight at all
C majorC G+G
And I don't know where I am, but there's no weight at all
A minorAm FF
It's laughter and grins and no tomorrow to win
C majorC G+G
And I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
🎸 Outro:
A minorAm
I don't know where I am, but I know exactly where I am
