Lyrics
[Intro]
[Violin sings low
Then climbs]
[One bright guitar note hangs in the air]
[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold
Sun not quite up
Shirt on the chair
Boots by the truck
List on the table
I’ll never outrun
But I lace these laces
And I take step one
[Chorus]
So I hang on like this
One breath
One brick
If my hands both shake
I still drive that stick
Might bend
Might break
But I don’t stay down
I was born for the long road
Not the crown
[Verse 2]
Phone full of voices
I don’t call back
Bills in a pile
On the counter stack
But there’s work in my chest
Quiet and rough
I show up to the day
Even when it’s enough
[Chorus]
So I hang on like this
One breath
One brick
If my hands both shake
I still drive that stick
Might bend
Might break
But I don’t stay down
I was born for the long road
Not the crown
[Bridge]
I don’t ask for mercy
Just a little more try (oh, just a little)
You can keep your promise
I’ll keep getting by
[Chorus]
Yeah
I hang on like this
One breath
One brick
If my voice runs low
My heart still ticks
Might bend
Might break
But I won’t stay down
I was born for the long road
I’m the long road now
