Lessons in Love, Hope, and Faith: Part One - The Road

This life goes by so damn fast
It feels just like a blur
Of the places we just drove on past
And the people that we were
I set cruise control on my soul
For way too long
And like the pavement paves the road with strength
Our love, it just stayed strong
And I look back on all the choices that I made
With so many exits off this highway
When the weight of the world can be a heavy load
I'll stay with you, here on the road
Now, I've had a little and I've had a lot
Sometimes deserved the things I got
I fought like a fool
For what I thought was gold
Told myself how it was gonna be
Most times you can't change a thing
So, we promised to wear each other's ring
Until we both grew old
Now I think back on all the choices that you made
With so many exits off this highway
When the weight of the world can be a heavy load
I'll stay with you, here on the road
I'll stay with you, here on the road
Pictures on the dashboard
Of the one's we'll leave behind
The seeds we planted on our way
Towards the finish line
So, I thank you now for everything
I thank you for this life
And though we've seen some ups and downs
It's been one hell of a ride
And I think back to all the choices that we made
With so many exits off this highway
When the cold dark night can feel so all alone
I'll stay with you, here on the road
I'll stay with you, here on the road
Just me and you, here on the road
