They Didn’t Eat Me

Verse 1 Caught a ride on a dusty lane, Boots wore thin from the walkin’ pain, Driver said, “You look near done,” I said, “Just need a ride ‘til I see the sun.” Chorus They didn’t eat me, they gave me stew, Let me warm my hands and change my view, Folks on the road, just tryin’ to get by, Don’t want much—just a clearer sky. Verse 2 I’ve picked up strangers with tired eyes, Not one of ‘em wore a disguise, They told me tales from behind their wheels, More truth there than a Sunday meal. Chorus They didn’t eat me, they shared their song, Said, “Stay safe, friend,” and rolled along, The world’s not kind, but it ain’t all cruel— Sometimes the road still follows a rule.
