Lyrics
The Road That Gets You Home
(c)Anthony Lynn Powers 2013
Verse 1
I've been down some bad roads
made a few wrong turns
it seems I've forgotten
the things I should of learned
There were too many late nights
with that bottle in my hand
the lies came too easy
cause you'd never would understand
Chorus
how long does it take, to forget
the decisions you've made, you regret
when every place you go
is filled with faces that you don't know
it's time to put the bottle down
and find the road that gets you home
Verse 2
I have burned some bridges
Cause of things I've done
Seems I've turned my back
On everyone I ever loved
When I look in the mirror
I don't like what I see
But inside of that image
Is the man I use to be
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I don't know what I'll find
Or where I belong
They say I can't go back
But I know I can go on
Final Chorus
how long does it take, to forget
the decisions I've made that I regret
every place I go
is filled with faces that I don't know
it's time to put the Whiskey down
and find the road that takes me home.
