I had everything, lost it all. I built towers of gold, watched em fall. I tried my best But I guess my best just wasn't good enough. I made promises. Broke em. I've laid loved ones lives wide open. And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far And I ain't givin up. I pray for a stronger back. I pray for a bigger heart. I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark. I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track. I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back. I've seen losers get a second chance I've seen miracles from happenstance. I've seen long shots come from way behind To win the race. And I've dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke. It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope. And it's dark right now but I know somehow Some day the sun will find some way to shine down on my face. I pray for a stronger back. I pray for a bigger heart. I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark. I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track. I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back. I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track. I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back.
