The Weight of the Road Lyrics

I sat there in the heat, just a man in the crowd

Tryin' to find myself, but I'm lost in the sound

The sweat on my skin, it ain't just from the heat

It's from all the words I should've said, from all the things I didn't meet

A thousand choices, none of 'em feel right

Each step further down this road, every turn outta sight

But maybe that's the truth, maybe that's the game

A path made of mistakes that nobody can name

I always wondered if it was meant to be

But I can't wait on answers, can't wait to be free

Faces passin' by, don't ask the right questions

They want me to fall in line, but I'm just learnin' my lessons

I'm walkin' with the weight of the road on my back

I'm searchin' for somethin, but it's all turned black

The heat's burnin' through me, but I'm still standin' tall

I've been lost for so long, but I'm gonna find it all

I thought about the people, the ones who came and went

Some were lookin' for answers, others never knew what they meant

But none of 'em had a map, they were just guessin' along

I was just a part of the noise, lost in the song

They told me to fit in, to follow the rules

Told me to be like them, but I've never been a fool

No, I've walked this road alone, no more waiting for signs

It's time to trust my heart, time to draw my own lines

The world doesn't owe me, and I don't owe them a thing

I've got to carry my own weight, and let my soul sing

The storm's gonna come, but I'll stand in the rain

I'll rise from the ashes, and I'll break through the pain

I'm walkin' with the weight of the road on my back

I'm searchin' for somethin, but it's all turned black

The heat's burnin' through me, but I'm still standin' tall

I've been lost for so long, but I'm gonna find it all

It's that moment when the dust clears

When the weight of it all becomes crystal clear

I'm not lost, no, I'm just findin' my way

Each step, each fall, leads me to a brand new day

I'm walkin' with the weight of the road on my back

I'm searchin' for somethin, but it's all turned black

The heat's burnin' through me, but I'm still standin' tall

I've been lost for so long, but I'm gonna find it all

I'm gonna find it all

Yeah, I'm gonna find it all

With the weight of the road, and the fire in my soul

I'll carry on, yeah, I'll carry on

Cause I'm walkin' through the storm to where I belong.
