[Verse 1]
Long time on my own for almost eleven years
Cleveland was my home, this place ain't for kids
Eighteen hours gone gotta' find a place to live
Daddy said, "Boy be strong you ain't got much to give"

[Pre-Chorus]
Got no time, for no rhyme
No complaining bout' this life

[Chorus]
So I take my sorrow and I turn it into gold
I'll ride the broken road right through
My scars will follow me no matter where I go
I'll ride highs and lows right through

[Verse 2]
I turned 23, my daughter was the best of me
Showed me who I was and who I need to be
Tried to build a home better than the one I knew
That girl saved my soul thе one I was about to lose
