Lonely Dirt Road
[00:28.86] When I need space that's where I go
[00:32.32] A place to escape that nobody knows
[00:35.50] Where I feel free to let things go
[00:38.69] And face this evil that burdens my soul
[00:41.88] I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
[00:45.33] All the emotions I cannot explain
[00:48.52] It's where I found God
[00:49.58] And filled that whole
[00:50.91] It's he, myself and I
[00:54.89] On that lonely dirt road
[00:57.55] I needed somewhere to take my mistakes
[01:01.00] I didn't want my family to see me cry
[01:04.19] They'll never know I'm
[01:04.46] Carrying all of this weight
[01:07.11] Dealing with the pressure
[01:07.91] Of trying to provide
[01:09.24] No sign of struggle can show on my face
[01:12.96] They ask if I'm OK I just flash them a smile
[01:16.15] Fire up that engine to take me away
[01:19.60] I'm speeding through emotions with every mile
[01:22.52] On that road is where I find my peace
[01:24.91] I remember daddy told me about some times like these
[01:29.43] On that road is where my minds at ease
[01:32.08] I keep driving life away, rejecting change
[01:34.74] So
[01:35.53] When I need space that's where I go
[01:38.19] A place to escape that nobody knows
[01:41.91] Where I feel free to let things go
[01:44.83] And face this evil that burdens my soul
[01:48.55] I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
[01:52.00] All the emotions I cannot explain
[01:56.52] It's where I found God
[01:57.05] And filled that whole
[01:59.71] It's he, myself and I
[02:01.83] On that lonely dirt road
[02:04.49] I tried my best to plant the seeds
[02:06.08] And then I watered everything that was in my life
[02:08.21] But as aman, the only flowers that you get
[02:12.72] Are when you're 6 feet under on the day you die
[02:15.64] I think I feel the pain my father felt
[02:19.10] It's finally sinking in
[02:21.24] Looking back all I see is his eyes
[02:24.43] He said that house is not a home
[02:27.08] Unless you build it on respect
[02:28.14] With some kids and a loving wife
[02:31.86] If these walls could talk
[02:32.92] I bet they'd say it's all my fault
[02:35.32] That I don't try hard
[02:36.91] That I ain't man enough
[02:38.50] That I ain't standing up
[02:40.10] That I just burn everything
[02:42.22] That my hands touch
[02:44.88] If these walls could talk
[02:46.47] I bet they'd say I'm to blame
[02:48.33] That I'm the one who put myself inside of all of these chains
[02:51.79] That my addictive personalities what ran them away
[02:56.04] And that I hurt myself by staying quiet
[02:57.09] And not explaining I'm broken
[02:58.69] In places, I can't even see
[03:00.55] I know there's gotta be a heaven
[03:00.82] Because the hell that's in me
[03:01.88] Is taking a dangerous toll
[03:07.19] That I'm paying with all of my soul
[03:11.18] When I need space that's where I go
[03:14.36] A place to escape that nobody knows
[03:17.82] Where I feel free to let things go
[03:21.27] And face this evil that burdens my soul
[03:24.72] I bring my hatred I pack my pain
[03:27.91] All the emotions I cannot explain
[03:31.63] It's where I found God
[03:33.22] And filled that whole
[03:34.82] It's he, myself and I
[03:40.39] On that lonely dirt road
