Lessons In Love, Hope And Faith: Part 1. The Road

(album: Heartland Highway - 2010)

This life goes by so damn fast
It feels just like a blur
Of the places we just drove on past
and the people that we were.
I set cruise control on my soul for way too long
but like the pavement paves the road with strength
our love it just stayed strong.

And I look back on all the choices that I made
with so many exits off this highway.

When the weight of the world can be a heavy load
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
I'll stay with you, here on the road.

Now I've had a little and I've had a lot
Sometimes deserved the things I got.
I fought like a fool for what I thought was gold.
Told myself how it was gonna be
but most times you can't change a thing
So we promised to wear each other's ring
until we both grow old.

And now I think back on all the choices
that you made
with so many exits off this highway.

When the weight of the world can be a heavy load
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
I'll stay with you, here on the road.

Pictures on the dashboard
of the one's we'll leave behind.
The seeds we planted on our way
towards the finish line.
So I thank you now for everything,
I thank you for this life.
And though we've seen some ups and downs,
it's been one hell of a ride.

And I think back on all the choices that we made
with so many exits off this highway.

When the cold dark night can feel so all alone
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
I'll stay with you, here on the road.
