This Road Of Mine

(album: Anthem - 2022)

Ah, back in the day for over twenty years
I've been singing a song, maybe bring some cheer
A life to live on an endless road
Making friends, even share a joke
But all our worlds, they came crashing in
We were synchronised but we couldn't swim
A dark dark cold winter's all she wrote
Better make amends, for you never know

So take this weight up off my shoulder
Lift this pressure off my life
They'll be no trouble in the distance
If we both see eye-to-eye
So many demons to behold
So interfere, don't tow the line
I've made my peace so now I
Take this road of mine

Ah, don't care if I ramble on
But I was long in the tooth before I felt belonged
Like many others, I had much to say
You better lift the lid, could be an early grave

Appreciate all the things you don't
There'll come a time when who will, I won't
Say it now before the devil wakes
He'll abbreviate, better punctuate, ah

So take this weight up off my shoulder
Lift this pressure off my life
They'll be no trouble in the distance
If we both see eye-to-eye
I have my reasons to uphold
I had my neck upon the line
I've made my peace so now I
Take this road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah

I have my reasons to uphold
I had my neck upon the line
I've made my peace so now I
Take this road of mine

Ah, sometimes worry is an endless fate
Come and stand your ground, punch your weight
Then get a grip for the bells will toll
Make a change or you'll never know

Appreciate all the things you don't
There'll come a time when who will, I won't
And say it now before the devil wakes
He'll abbreviate, better punctuate, ah

So take this weight up off my shoulder
Lift this pressure off my life
They'll be no trouble in the distance
If we both see eye-to-eye
I have my reasons to uphold
I had my neck upon the line
I've made my peace so now I
Take this road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine
This road of mine, yeah
