Lyrics
Things change, girl?that?s what she said
As we drove away and left my dad a-lone
She said there?s no one that you can count on
And everybody?s really on their own
I listened like children do
And all my tears told me it was true
That there was no one that I could count on
No one gets the life that they would choose
It?s not easy, it?s a hard road that I travel
But it?s the only road I know
I may stumble ?cause there are so many stones
But I still believe this road will lead me home, home
Have faith, girl?that?s what I say
When all my courage leaves and only doubt remains
I say there?s someone that you can count on
And all you have to do is call his name
It?s not easy, it?s a hard road that I travel
But it?s the only road I know
I may stumble ?cause there are so many stones
But I still believe this road will lead me home
It took some time to see
All this falling down I?m doing
Keeps me on my knees
It?s not easy, it?s a hard road that I travel
But it?s the only road I know
I may stumble ?cause there are so many stones
But I still believe this road will lead me home
I still believe this road will lead me home, home
