Lessons in Love, Hope and Faith: Part 1. The Road

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.
