Yesterday’s roads
Slow slide electric guitar wails, drenched in reverb. Hammond organ swells softly underneath. Light kick brushes enter after four bars, upright bass hums long notes. 70 BPM. Heartbreaking, cinematic, like lost love in a smoky room. Blues

Lyrics
Verse 1
I walk the streets I used to know,
The playground’s empty, the lights are low.
I hear my laughter in the past,
Those golden days could never last.
Every corner holds a name.
Chorus
Yesterday’s roads, I can’t return,
I loved those days, I felt the burn.
Yesterday’s roads, I feel the pain,
I carry memories in my veins.
Verse 2
Schoolyard echoes, the swings are still,
I walk alone up the old hill.
I touch the fences, I smell the air,
The youth I lost is everywhere.
Every step recalls the sun.
Chorus
Yesterday’s roads, I can’t return,
I loved those days, I felt the burn.
Yesterday’s roads, I feel the pain,
I carry memories in my veins.
Verse 3
Evening falls, the lights grow dim,
I hug the past, I feel it swim.
The roads are old, the nights are cold,
I walk alone, I keep the gold.
Yesterday’s roads, fade away.
Chorus / Outro
Yesterday’s roads, I can’t return,
I loved those days, I felt the burn.
Yesterday’s roads… fade tonight.
