This Old Road Lyrics

Twenty miles past the county line

Across the Mississippi to the other side

Yesterday in the rearview mirror

Don't know where I'm headed but I can't stay here

There's a mountain to be climbed

And a wild horse to ride

Fear to stare in the eye along the way

There's more to where we're going than getting there

More to who we are than where we've been

It's every dusty mile, the blessings and the trials

And the hope that waits around the bend

Of this old road

This old road has led the way

From brokenness to faith

From a first kiss to a heartbreak and back again

Years of winding turns and a thousand lessons learned

Ashes from a bridge burned in a jealous wind

There's more to where we're going than getting there

More to who we are than where we've been

It's every dusty mile, the blessings and the trials

And the hope that waits around the bend

Of this old road

It's a newborn baby's cry, it's a long, sad goodbye

It's the color of the sky after the rain

It's every battle fought, sweet love and bitter loss

And I don't want to miss a single thing

There's more to where we're going than getting there

More to who we are than where we've been

It's every dusty mile, the blessings and the trials

And the hope that waits around the bend

Of this old road
