The Road
I'm there to greet you when your life begins
You'll start your journey on your knees and hands
I'll offer many choices and places you can go
But you must choose 'cause I'm just the road
I'm paved with memories, glory and regrets
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes
You can take all you can hold
But if you stumble beneath your load
Don't blame me, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
Road to riches, the path of righteousness
Through busy cities or through a mountain mess
I'll take you on the highway or sneak you through the low
But it's your call, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
Your last breath is not the death of me
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads
To that place where I hope shining angels greet your soul
But if they don't, I'm just the road
'Cause I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
So don't you thank me, don't you blame me
When you're at that judgment throne
'Cause I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
You'll start your journey on your knees and hands
I'll offer many choices and places you can go
But you must choose 'cause I'm just the road
I'm paved with memories, glory and regrets
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes
You can take all you can hold
But if you stumble beneath your load
Don't blame me, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
Road to riches, the path of righteousness
Through busy cities or through a mountain mess
I'll take you on the highway or sneak you through the low
But it's your call, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
Your last breath is not the death of me
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads
To that place where I hope shining angels greet your soul
But if they don't, I'm just the road
'Cause I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble, and I'll whine
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
So don't you thank me, don't you blame me
When you're at that judgment throne
'Cause I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
