I Forgave the Road That Broke Me

I cursed the miles that cut me deep, Every turn stole the rest I’d keep. But the dust still carried me through the night, And the dawn showed mercy in the light.

I forgave the road that broke me, For every scar it chose to show me. It gave me pain, but it gave me song, I forgave the road that I rode on.

I chased the bottle, I chased the fight, I rode with anger by my side. But the road just held me, mile by mile, Till I learned to lay it down with a smile.

I forgave the road that broke me, For every wound that tried to own me. It gave me grief, but it made me strong, I forgave the road that I rode on.

(Wordless hum echoing like a prayer behind the melody)

I forgave the road that broke me, For every shadow it still shows me. It gave me loss, but it gave me song, I forgave the road… I rode on.
