Long Hard Road

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]
