End of the Road
Stefano Langone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was a late night show in Georgia
We were on the 'ol highway
We know we've lost some friends
And family on the way
But you know we all feel better
And it makes it worth our time
To know our bus is rollin' towards
That Mason-Dixon line

[Chorus]
Oh we can't seem to find the end of the road
Roots never grow on the seeds that we sow
We've still got our music and so many miles to go
You know we can't seem to find the end of the road

We know we've got a legacy that's hard to live up to
But there's still a lot of reasons
Why we play these songs for you
It's a family tradition and as long as we're around
That free bird keeps on flyin' and it never will come down

[Chorus]

Oh we can't seem to find the end of the road
Roots never grow on the seeds that we sow
We can't seem to find the end of the road
No matter how far we travel it always seems to slow
We still got our music and so many miles to go

You know we can't seem to find lord the end of the road
The end of the road

Overall Meaning

Stefano Langone's song "End Of The Road" is about a band on a late-night show in Georgia, traveling on an "old highway" and knowing that they've lost some family and friends along the way. Despite the hardships, the band members feel better knowing that their bus is rolling towards the Mason-Dixon line. The lyrics of the chorus are particularly poignant: "Oh, we can't seem to find the end of the road / Roots never grow on the seeds that we sow / We've still got our music and so many miles to go / You know we can't seem to find the end of the road." It's clear that the band is on a journey, both literal and metaphorical, and they're not ready to give up just yet.

The second verse of the song mentions the band's legacy, which is difficult to live up to. However, they keep playing for their fans, and the "free bird keeps on flying and it never will come down." This could be interpreted as a reference to the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Free Bird," which has become a symbol of freedom and rebellion.
