Why is this road soo ruthless, country, male vocal

Verse 1:
This road feels so relentless, grandpa, why'd you go away?
The heart you gave took flight one day, leaving me in disarray.
I wander through the empty halls of your house, a silent scream,
Still trying hard to find the strength to chase that distant dream.

Chorus:
This road is so ruthless, your memory fades in the night,
But I still hear you whisper, "Child, everything will be alright."
Grandpa, though your heart took flight, your spirit still remains,
Guiding me through the toughest times, through heartache and the pain.

Verse 2:
In every shadow of your home, I find echoes of your voice,
Reminders of the love you shared, urging me to make a choice.
To keep my head held high, to walk the path you planned for me,
Though it's hard, I hear your words, encouraging me to be free.

Bridge:
Though the road is long and weary, your wisdom lights the way,
In my ear, your gentle whisper, "Keep going, come what may."
The journey might be ruthless, but I'll face it without fear,
For in my heart, you're always close, eternally near.

Chorus:
This road is so ruthless, your memory fades in the night,
But I still hear you whisper, "Child, everything will be alright."
Grandpa, though your heart took flight, your spirit still remains,
Guiding me through the toughest times, through heartache and the pain.
