The Road

I'm there to greet you

When your life begins

You'll start your journey

On your knees and hands

I offer many choices

And places you can go

But you must choose

'Cause I'm just the road

I'm paved with memories

Glory and regrets

I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes

You can take all you can hold

But if you stumble beneath your load

Don't blame me

I'm just the road

I'm a million miles before you

I'm a million miles behind

I'll take you straight and narrow

I'll ramble and I'll wind

So curse my broken brimstone

Or kiss my bricks of gold

I'm not the reason

I'm just the road

The road to riches

The path of righteousness

Through busy cities

Or through a mountain mess

I'll take you on the highway

Or sneak you through the low

But it's your call

I'm just the road

I'm a million miles before you

I'm a million miles behind

I'll take you straight and narrow

I'll ramble and I'll wind

So curse my broken brimstone

Or kiss my bricks of gold

I'm not the reason

I'm just the road

Your last breath

Is not the death of me

I'll take you on

To where your ticket reads

To that place where I hope

Shinin' angels greet your soul

But if they don't

I'm just the road

'Cause I'm a million miles before you

I'm a million miles behind

I'll take you straight and narrow

I'll ramble and I'll wind

So curse my broken brimstone

Or kiss my bricks of gold

I'm not the reason

I'm just the road

I'm a million miles before you

I'm a million miles behind

I'll take you straight and narrow

I'll ramble and I'll wind

So curse my broken brimstone

Or kiss my bricks of gold

I'm not the reason

I'm just the road

So don't you thank me

Don't you blame me

When you're at that judgment throne

'Cause I'm not the reason

I'm just the road
