Lyrics
Intro
I’ve crossed the peaks where the storm gods sleep,
I’ve woken dragons from their keep,
I’ve sung in taverns, I’ve bled in wars,
And I’ve lost more friends than I can score.
Verse 1
The road was wild, the nights were flame,
Each dawn another madman’s game,
I’ve danced with ghosts beneath the moon,
And drank to love that died too soon.
I’ve laughed at death, I’ve cheated fate,
I’ve cursed the stars that shone too late,
But the restless wind can keep her song,
My boots are tired, my heart’s not strong.
Pre-Chorus
Once I chased horizons wide,
Now I crave a place to hide,
The world still calls with endless roar,
But I don’t need to roam no more.
Chorus
It sure was a heck of a lot of fun,
Racing the storm and chasing the sun,
But I’ve fought my fights and I’ve paid my dues,
Now I want peace in the simplest truths.
The road still shines but I’ve closed that door,
I sure don’t need adventures anymore.
Verse 2
I’ve seen the kingdoms rise and fall,
I’ve heard the siren’s midnight call,
I’ve kissed the flame of fleeting grace,
And watched the years erase my face.
The tales I’ve told were worth the scars,
But all I found were empty bars,
The wine’s gone sour, the songs are thin,
The hero’s heart just wants to mend.
Bridge
Guide me home through yesterday,
Let me rest where the kind hearts are.
I’ve chased too long the fool’s delight,
I’d trade my fame for quiet night,
A fire, a chair, a friend or two,
No more dragons left to pursue.
Chorus
It sure was a heck of a lot of fun,
Riding the wind till the world came undone,
But the songs are sung, and the maps are torn,
And the dreams I had are weather-worn.
I’ll raise my glass to the paths I wore,
But I don’t need adventures anymore.
Final Chorus
It sure was a heck of a lot of fun,
But I’m done with running from the sun,
The sword can sleep, the war can wait,
Let peace walk with me through the gate.
No gold, no quest, no crown to store,
I’ve had enough adventures no more.
Outro
The road winds on, but not for me,
I’ll rest beside the willow tree,
For all the fire my heart once bore,
I sure don’t need adventures anymore.
