How Far

Verse 1:

The fog seems to linger

Like it'll never get out

This man will go crazy

From a silence so loud

Well they say be careful

For what you ask for

You might just get it all

And a little more

Chorus:

God says He'll bring home

The weary and the lost

But Lord

At what a cost?

I can't keep working night and day

This cold-iron heart's beating numb

The only time that I look back

Is to see how far I've come

Verse 2:

This fall's harvest

Just won't make it to the table

I gotta try something new

Pay bills how I'm able

At night I sneak up the mountain

Fire up that corn-whiskey still

Warmed by the devil's fire

But God's Word leaves me with a chill

Chorus:

God says He'll bring home

The weary and the lost

But Lord

At what a cost?

Now that wind's howling low

I'm doing my best to beat the frost

I can't keep wandering this old world

Just afraid and lost

Verse 3:

Well I can't run forever

It's a matter of time till I pay

I'm long overdue

For my locked up stay

I see the sheriff draw his gun

There's no more room left to roam

It looks like my Creator

Has finally called me home

Chorus:

God says He'll bring home

The weary and the lost

But Lord

At what a cost?

I won't be working night and day

Called to my home up on high

You've saved this man from himself

Another tear I'll never cry
