Wandering Road

country, rock, male voice
[guitar intro]
[verse 1]
I was young when I left you
Angry at the world, tired through and through
Left what I thought was a prison
You called me back, but I wouldn't listen
[verse 2]
Our children tried to pull me back
My love for them couldn't overcome what I lacked
Now their faces are in my head
The world was too loud, I couldn't hear what they said
[chorus]
And now I walk along a lonely road
Violence and survival my only code
My only friends a guitar and my gun
The bottom of a whiskey bottle and the rising sun
[verse 3]
Every face I see, is of a stranger
Every situation, one with danger
Every road side hotel my new home
Where I can hang my hat and be alone
[verse 4]
But today I'm tired, and there's an ache in my heart
Nothing's good anymore, not even the flash of a gunman's art
Where can I find a place to call my own
To stop wandering, where I don't have to roam
[chorus]
And now I walk along a lonely road
Violence and survival my only code
My only friends a guitar and my gun
The bottom of a whiskey bottle and the rising sun
[bridge]
Maybe it's time to come on home
To see her again, so we aren't alone
To see my kids, watch them grow
To be a family, from so long ago
[chorus]
And now I don't walk along a lonely road
Strength and love my only code
My only friends a guitar and my gun
To take care of our home, watching the rising sun
[Outro]
