This one is bluegrass:

A ROAD TO ANYWHERE
As recorded by The Linville Ridge Band on "A Road to Anywhere" (2004)

Seeing the life drain from his old man
As the sun sets beyond the canyon rim,
Knowing there's another life somewhere,
And a future that doesn't look so dim.

CHORUS: And he'll ride out o' town on a song and a prayer,
The song that he sings about a road to anywhere.
He was born to escape the coal mine's black lung
To avoid a life that's over before it has begun.

How can he cut the ties that bind
His very soul to this poor rocky ground,
And leave his home for a faraway life
With promised hope but no fam'ly around? CHORUS

He's dreading the day should he ever leave.
He fears he won't come home again,
But he knows his future if he does stay
Is in a graveyard with fam'ly and friends. CHORUS
