Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Boots full of gravel

Heart full of pride

I chased every bottle

Till the well ran dry

Poker and paydays

Dust in my mouth

Cussed at the heavens

And headed south

[Chorus]

I ran so far

But You rode farther

Through the barroom smoke and busted bars

I sank so low

But Your rope reached lower

Down in that pit where the lost things are

Thought I’d outrun grace forever

Burn this brand into my own skin

I ran so far

But You rode farther

You pulled me up and hauled me in

[Verse 2]

Face in the red dirt

Night going black

Sirens behind me

Devils on my back

Cold steel and handcuffs

Tears in my beard

Whisper in the stillness

Cut through my fear

[Chorus]

I ran so far

But You rode farther

Through the barroom smoke and busted bars

I sank so low

But Your rope reached lower

Down in that pit where the lost things are

Thought I’d outrun grace forever

Burn this brand into my own skin

I ran so far

But You rode farther

You pulled me up and hauled me in

[Bridge]

You met me in that holding cell

Not a steeple in sight

Just concrete and hell

You said

“Son

I been trailing you

Every wrong road

Every bad move”

[Chorus]

I ran so far

But You rode farther

Through the barroom smoke and busted bars

I sank so low

But Your rope reached lower

Down in that pit where the lost things are

Now this old horse is heading homeward

Spurs in the dust

I ride with Him

I ran so far

But You rode farther

You pulled me up and hauled me in
