Closer Than You Think

Verse 1

The road got rough, my boots worn thin

Dust on my soul, just sinkin’ in

That ol’ wind whispers, “Son, just quit”

But I ain’t laid down and I ain’t done yet

Verse 2

Miles get long and the nights get cold

Trouble feels heavier the more I hold

But I heard a voice deep down inside

Said, “Keep on walkin’, don’t lose your stride”

Chorus

‘Cause strength ain’t born on an easy road

It’s made in the weight of a heavy load

When givin’ up calls out your name

But you keep on walkin’ through the pain

Every step, Lord, it’s makin’ me

More than I was, stronger than I used to be

So I won’t turn back, I’ll keep that fight

I’m closer than I think tonight

Verse 3

Seen dark days and pouring rain

Heard that lonesome, cryin’ train

But that track runs on and so do I

Ain’t no quittin’ in this heart of mine

Bridge

I may bend but I won’t break

Every loss just fuels my faith

That harder road’s where I belong

That’s where a man learns to stay strong

Chorus

‘Cause strength ain’t born on an easy road

It’s made in the weight of a heavy load

When givin’ up calls out your name

But you keep on walkin’ through the pain

Every step, Lord, it’s makin’ me

More than I was, stronger than I used to be

So I won’t turn back, I’ll keep that fight

I’m closer than I think tonight

Outro

Yeah, I won’t turn back, I’ve come too far

Got a little faith and an old guitar

Road’s still hard, but I can see

I’m closer than I think I’ll be…
