Lyrics
Down the road
A young man starts to travel
'Thinks he knows the way that he should go
But his suitcase, packed with dreams of freedom
Is not enough to get him down the road.
Down the road
He'll have to do some thinking
Where the road he's on begins to wind
Too much baggage starts to weigh him down
And for the first time, he thinks of what?s behind.
You see, I know that road very well.
I have traveled that hard road myself.
And I curse the lie that led me off to roam.
But I thank the Lord for grace that got me home.
Yes, I thank the Lord for grace to get me home.
