Prompt / Lyrics
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…
