Lyrics
Nobody tells you what comes after
There’s a moment after midnight
When the dashboard fades to black
And the road stops calling back
No voices through the speaker
No destination sign
Just another stretch of time
Not waiting on a call
No one needing me at all
When the radio goes quiet
And the highway rolls along
I start wondering who I am
Without the uniform
Without somewhere I should be
Or somebody counting on me
Yeah I always knew my place when things weren't right
It's finding my own way when the radio goes quiet
There’s a photograph above me
Clipped into the visor shade
From a life I helped create
And I think about the years spent
Running toward the flame
Before I knew my name
I spent a lifetime standing tall
Now I'm learning after all
When the radio goes quiet
And the highway rolls along
I start wondering who I am
Without the uniform
Without somewhere I should be
Or somebody counting on me
Yeah I always knew my place when things weren't right
It's finding my own way when the radio goes quiet
Maybe every road behind me
Was leading to this place
Where I finally learn who I am
Beyond the rank and name
When the radio goes quiet
And the highway rolls along
I start seeing there's a life
Beyond the uniform
Yeah I carried that responsibility with pride
Now I'm learning how to live when the radio goes quiet
Still moving
Just a different road this time
