Always on My Right · English country-folk recording

[Intro – sparse banjo, slow porch swing tempo] Mm… Wind’s a little cooler now Fuel light flickers soft ⸻ [Verse 1 – spoken-sung] That old Mazda… never liked the hills Had to press the pedal more than we could afford Sometimes the door stayed half-open rattling all the way down the road You just smiled… said “we’ll make it somewhere” Fields kept rolling past the window radio losing pieces of its song We didn’t carry much with us but we were never quiet ⸻ [Chorus – low melodic rise] You were always on my right Hair drifting in the wind Roads twisting out of sight We just leaned into them You were always on my right Sun falling through the glass No matter how the world turned we let it roll right past ⸻ [Verse 2 – even softer] Now the car hums like a secret barely needs these hands at all Lines of light keep drawing forward screens glowing in the dusk Sometimes deer step out in silence sometimes voices fill the air Whole wide stages in the speakers still feels like we’re just there ⸻ [Bridge – almost spoken] Someone once asked how far we’ve gone I couldn’t tell them any number Miles stopped meaning much somewhere along the way All I know… we never left the song ⸻ [Final Chorus – breath + lift] You were always on my right Through the rain and years Wheels turning slow tonight Carrying all our prayers You were always on my right Morning after morning If this road is all this life is I’m glad that we kept going
