Last Mile Home — A Song for the End of the Season

The Story

There is a particular feeling at the end of a long season. You have pushed yourself to the limit, given everything you had, and now the finish line is finally in sight. This song is for that moment — when the road has been hard but you are almost home.

Written after a particularly grueling stretch of work, “Last Mile Home” captures that bittersweet mix of exhaustion and relief. The kind of song you play on the drive home when you know you gave it everything today.

Lyrics

The sun dips low on a weary road
Miles behind me, light ahead
My boots are heavy, my spirit slow
But I will not let the doubt be said

The season is long, the battles won
Every scar tells where I have been
The work is done, the fight is run
And I can almost taste the win

Last mile home, last mile home
Follow the road where the wild grass grows
Last mile home, last mile home
Leave the weight behind and let it go
