Lonely Dirt Road

[Chorus]

When I need space that's where I go

A place to escape that nobody knows

Where I feel free to let things go

And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain

All the emotions I cannot explain

It's where I found God and filled that hole

It's he, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road

[Verse 1]

I needed somewhere to take my mistakes

I didn't want my family to see me cry

They'll never know I'm carrying all of this weight

Dealing with the pressure of trying to provide

No sign of struggle can show on my face

Thеy ask if I'm okay, I just flash them a smile

Fire up that еngine to take me away

I'm speeding through emotions with every mile

On that road is where I find my peace

I remember daddy told me 'bout some times like these

On that road is where my mind's at ease

I keep driving life away, rejecting change, so

[Chorus]

When I need space that's where I go

A place to escape that nobody knows

Where I feel free to let things go

And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain

All the emotions I cannot explain

It's where I found God and filled that hole

It's he, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road

[Verse 2]

I tried my best to plant the seeds and then

I watered everything that was in my life

But as a man, the only flowers that you get are

When you're six-feet under on the day you die

I think I feel the pain my father felt, it's finally sinking in

Looking back all I see is his eyes

He said that house is not a home unless you build it

On respect with some kids and a loving wife

If these walls could talk, I bet they'd say it's all my fault

That I don't try hard

That I ain't man enough, that I ain't standing up

That I just burn everything that my hands touch, o-oh

If these walls could talk, I bet they'd say I'm to blame

That I'm the one who put myself inside of all of these chains

That my addictive personality's what ran them away

And that I hurt myself by staying quiet and not expla-

Ining I'm broken in places I can't even see

I know there's gotta be a Heaven 'cause the hell that's in me

Is taking a dangerous toll

That I'm paying with all of my soul

[Chorus]

When I need space that's where I go

A place to escape that nobody knows

Where I feel free to let things go

And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain

All the emotions I cannot explain

It's where I found God and filled that hole

It's he, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road
