One hope on this highway
To start again
Headlights through the mountains
Trembling
Memories and family
I'm sorry, but I tried
To love you and to hold you
Oh but now I've gone to take what's mine
Fare thee well
Roots of mine
I never owed you anything
I will carve my own path with my two hands
Well, I got a letter
"Your love is dead" it read
Night stretched into mourning
An empty bed
Oh, in all these years there have been times
I've lost control
Oh Lord, please have mercy
Please have mercy on my wicked soul
Well, I was wrong,
I'm not proud
You know I owed you everything
Oh my home
Oh my name
You only gave me everything
Well, grace has passed
This I know
You'll never call me son again
I thought I could make this with my two hands
(I didn't feel so bad)
('Till that good old sun went down)
(I didn't have the one)
(To put my arms around)
