Aaron Watson - The Road lyrics

I'm there to greet you when your life begins You'll start your journey on your knees and hands I offer many choices an' places you can go 'Cause you must choose 'cause I'm just the road I'm paved with mem'ries, glory and regrets I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes You can take all you can hold but if you stumble b'neath 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 Road to riches, the path of righteousness Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess I'll take you through the high way or snake 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 >instrumental interlude< Your last breath is not the d**h of me I'll take you on to where your ticket reads To that place where I hope shinin' angels greet your soul 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
