Long hard road

Woke up this morning with a weight on my chest
Like the world’s on my back and it won’t let me rest
Mirror don’t show me the man I should be
Just a tired old soul staring back at me
Verse 2
Bills on the table and dust on my dreams
Every road I take ain’t as easy as it seems
I’ve been holding on to what I can’t see
Praying there’s more than what’s left of me
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I’m walking a line on the edge of breaking down
But I ain’t turned around
Chorus
It’s a long hard road, yeah you’re giving all you got
Some nights it feels like it just ain’t enough
All the weight, all the hurt, all the miles inside
But you try your best just to stay alive
And that fight in your chest, yeah it won’t let go
It’s the only thing keeping you on this road
Verse 3
There’s a past that follows everywhere I go
Like a shadow in the dark I can’t outrun slow
Every scar’s got a story I don’t wanna tell
But they built who I am, yeah they made me this hell
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I’ve been lost, yeah I’ve been down this far
But I’m still where you are
Chorus
It’s a long hard road, yeah you’re giving all you got
Some nights it feels like it just ain’t enough
All the weight, all the hurt, all the miles inside
But you try your best just to stay alive
And that fight in your chest, yeah it won’t let go
It’s the only thing keeping you on this road
Bridge (stripped, emotional peak)
If there’s a light, I ain’t seen it yet
But I ain’t done fighting, I ain’t done with it
Yeah, I bend, I break, but I don’t fold
There’s a fire in me they can’t control
Final Chorus (lift it slightly hopeful)
It’s a long hard road, yeah you’re giving all you got
And one day you’ll see it was enough
All the weight, all the hurt, all the miles behind
Gonna fade like shadows over time
Yeah, that fight in your chest never let you go
It’s the reason you’re still on this road

Sad country
