It's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord I need to find my way back home
I hear the voice my sweet momma called me Telling me to change my ways In my mind, I smell the dogwood blooming Takes me back to yesterday
[Chorus]
I left behind the person that I once was I changed for good and some for bad I've wasted days and nights on love forgotten I've traded happiness for sad
[Chorus]
I've felt the hurt of a broken heart inside me I've felt the joy of love unchained I've seen the rain wash away a mountain Like tears have washed away my pain
[Chorus]
I've watched some loved ones dear to my heart dying I've heard a newborn baby's cry I've walked a path of glory and of darkness I've felt the guilt of a senseless life
[Chorus]
Drank to forget and I've drank to remember And I've drank for love and I've drank for hate I've danced alone with a full moon up above me Lighting the way to heaven's gate
[Chorus]
I've felt the love of Jesus shining on me I've felt the devil's wicked ways Prayed for forgiveness, prayed for redemption Prayed just to make it through the day
[Chorus]
It's a long, hard road I'm traveling on Seems forever I've been gone Yeah, it's a long hard road I'm traveling on Lord I need to find my way back home
I hear the voice my sweet momma called me Telling me to change my ways In my mind, I smell the dogwood blooming Takes me back to yesterday
[Chorus]
I left behind the person that I once was I changed for good and some for bad I've wasted days and nights on love forgotten I've traded happiness for sad
[Chorus]
I've felt the hurt of a broken heart inside me I've felt the joy of love unchained I've seen the rain wash away a mountain Like tears have washed away my pain
[Chorus]
I've watched some loved ones dear to my heart dying I've heard a newborn baby's cry I've walked a path of glory and of darkness I've felt the guilt of a senseless life
