Saint James - Where the Road Turns lyrics

Hook [Jenny B] Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've gone away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand, the reason you left me What were you going through? Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooh I'm missing you Tell me where the road turns (echo) Verse 1 [Saint James] I'm going through some things which only you could understand How Lord Jesus do I fill for your plan? I'm a soldier in these streets, a boss from the old With the game on froze, cause my blood ran cold I lived in the fast lane, c**aine I boss on these streets, I was known as the dope man Living life to the fullest, at least I thought Jesus Christ let me know, I could've bought I put in work with the homies, kept it way too real It's a shark attack, heart attack, when we spraying that steel And the woman I love, played foolish games So I harness the hate, just to cope with the pain I couldn't stand the rain, stormy weather, dark nights And I couldn't hold on to the love of my life With so many faults, I felt like I was to blame So it pushed me off the edge, nearly drove me insane Hook [Jenny B] Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've gone away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand, the reason you left me What were you going through? Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooh I'm missing you Tell me where the road turns (echo) Verse 2 [Saint James] So many tears, I started smoking that dope It was ride or die for real, because I lost all hope But my method to cope, caught me off in a haze Dope couldn't satisfy the love that I craved Felt like a rat in a maze, I couldn't see my ways They thought I was crazed, the way the bullets would blaze You opened up my eyes, I was living a lie A deceitful disguise, lead to lethal demise You pulled me out of darkness and you showed me the way I pray for my homies, up in Pelican Bay Cause it could've been me, spending life in the cage Pulling down calendars, and pumped up with rage But you held me close, and you showed me your love The price that you paid at the cross with your blood First the enemy came on crawling, and my flesh had me bawling I gave into temptation, when that dope started calling Hook [Jenny B] Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've gone away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand, the reason you left me What were you going through? Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooh I'm missing you Tell me where the road turns (echo) Verse 3 [Saint James] I don't know where I'm going, but I know where I've been Had to be your blood that could conquer my sin Yet betrayed you again, with my evil desires My flesh is so cunning and my spirit is tired I want to call on your name, leave my burden and pain Guilt got me discouraged and I'm feeling ashamed I got no where to run, and where can I hide? Like a wave in the sea, being tossed by the tide I need a little bit of mercy and a whole lot of grace The Lord is the author and the finisher of my fate With just one touch ain't no fighting the feeling I'm the vessel in the street that's going to feed your children If you're ready and willing, he'll lead you out of the dark Just confess with your mouth and believe in your heart He's the king of kings, and the Lord of Lords He paid that price, knowing none of us could afford Hook [Jenny B] 2x Since you've been away, I've been down and lonely Since you've gone away, I've been thinking of you Trying to understand, the reason you left me What were you going through? Oooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh oooh I'm missing you Tell me where the road turns (echo)
