Lonely Road

---

Verse 1

You out here late, son, you okay?

That road gets dark this far away

Verse 1

Yeah, I’m good, just needed space

Tryin’ to outrun yesterday

Ain’t lost, just passin’ through

Feels easier than tellin’ you

Pre-Chorus

You look like you’re carryin’ more than you should

Pre-Chorus

Guess I always have

Guess I always would

Chorus

You ain’t alone

Sure feels that way

Someone’s there

Don’t hear ‘em say

You’ll be alright

I’m tryin’ my best

Smilin’ outside, dyin’ in my chest

Verse 2

You ever miss the boy you were?

Back when life felt whole?

Verse 2

Yeah, but thinkin’ ‘bout those days

Opens doors I can’t close

I wanna feel that freedom again

But those memories hurt more than they mend

I keep my hands busy, don’t let ‘em rest

Idle time puts weight on my chest

I read the Bible, letters in red

But faith feels quiet when hope feels dead

Chorus ( Voice 2 and -Voice 1)

You don’t gotta fight this fight alone

Been doin’ that since I was young

There’s still time

Feels like none

Just hold on

Lord knows I tried

I’m still standin’, but somethin’ inside has died

Bridge

I’ve done things I ain’t proud to say

Tried to numb the hurt every way

Whiskey nights, bad decisions

Carried ‘em all like a life sentence

World on my shoulders, boots in the dust

Still pushin’ forward ‘cause I have to, not ‘cause I trust

Bridge (soft)

Man… please don’t give up now

Final Chorus (Stripped Down)

He walks that road with his head held low

Every step says what he won’t show

He played the part, he stayed strong

But the night went on too long

Outro

The road went quiet, the stars stayed still

He finally laid that burden down

Cold dawn breakin’ over the hill

A lonely man on a nowhere ground
