[Verse 1]
Back in the day, for over twenty years
I've been singing a song, and maybe bring some cheer
A life to live on an endless road
Making friends, even share a joke
But all our worlds, they came crashing in
We were synchronized, but we couldn't swim
A dark cold winter is all she wrote
Better make amends, for you never know

[Chorus]
So take this weight up off my shoulder
Lift this pressure off my life
There'll be no trouble in the distance
If we both see eye to eye
So many demons to behold
Some interfere, don't toe the line
I've made my peace
So now I take this road of mine

[Verse 2]
I don't care if I ramble on
But I was long in the tooth before I felt alone
Like many others, I had much to say
Better lift the lid, could be an early grave
Appreciate all the things you don't
There will come a time when you will, I won't
Say it now before the devil wakes
He'll abbreviate, better punctuate
[Chorus]
So take this weight up off my shoulder
Lift this pressure off my life
There'll be no trouble in the distance
If we both see eye to eye
I had my reasons to uphold
I had my neck upon the line
I've made my peace
So now I take this road of mine, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah

[Bridge]
I had my reasons to uphold
I had my neck upon the line
I've made my peace
So now I take this road of mine

[Verse 3]
Sometimes worry is an endless fate
Come and stand your ground, maybe punch your weight
Then get a grip for the bells will toll
Make a change or you'll never know
Appreciate all the things you don't
There will come a time when you will, I won't
And say it now before the devil wakes
He'll abbreviate, better punctuate
[Chorus]
So take this weight up off my shoulder
Lift this pressure off my life
There'll be no trouble in the distance
If we both see eye to eye
I had my reasons to uphold
I had my neck upon the line
I've made my peace
So now I take this road of mine, yeah

[Outro]
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah
This road of mine, yeah
