When I lost my way, found myself on rugged road

With a head full of trouble carryin' a heavy, heavy load

I was stumblin' blind, goin down that rugged road

And no one could help me I had to walk that road alone



When I met my friend, he said brother can I help you please

I know you got worries maybe some that I can ease

It's a long long way and you might need some company

But I just couldn't hear him and he just let me be



My father before me, walked that road the same as I

He had his bad and his good times, and one day he had to die

People I made my way, and now I'm standin' in the sun

With my struggle behind me, my life has just begun
