[Intro — Solo piano, faint pedal steel, raw and weary male vocal] I've got a past I can't outrun, A few regrets, a few I've loved and lost. But there's a little hope beneath these scars, And I'm not giving up on who we are. [Verse 1 — Low, gritty vocal; acoustic guitar enters] There's a picture on the dresser from a better year, Back when I had less to hide and less to fear. Now the years have left their footprints on my face, And I've spent too long running from my own mistakes. I've said things I wish I could take back, Lost good people trying to cover up the cracks. But this old heart ain't ready to give in, Maybe falling down ain't where the story ends. [Pre-Chorus — Drums building, vocal rising] I've been talking to the ceiling, Trying to find a reason to believe. Maybe I ain't beyond redemption, Maybe there's still hope for me. [Chorus — Full country-rock band, powerful raspy vocal, soaring harmonies] I'm still worth saving, still got a soul, Still got some miles on this broken road. I've been lost, I've been down, I've been barely hanging on, But there's a little bit of fight in me that ain't gone. I ain't proud of every road I've taken, But I'm more than all the chances I've been wasting. Let the past keep talking, let the old ghosts call, I ain't gonna let my yesterday define it all. I'm still worth saving, I ain't giving up on me. [Verse 2 — Driving acoustic rhythm, warm bass, steady drums] There's a name in my phone I still can't erase, And a few old friends I wish I could face. If I had one more chance to make things right, I'd trade a thousand wrongs for one honest night. But the clock don't turn and the years don't wait, You can't build tomorrow living in yesterday. So I'll take this heart with its dents and scars, And start right here, right where we are. [Pre-Chorus — Electric guitar swells, drums grow stronger] I've been talking to the ceiling, Now I'm finally starting to believe. I don't have to be the man I was, There's a better man I can be. [Chorus — Bigger guitars, strong harmonies] I'm still worth saving, still got a soul, Still got some miles on this broken road. I've been lost, I've been down, I've been barely hanging on, But there's a little bit of fight in me that ain't gone. I ain't proud of every road I've taken, But I'm more than all the chances I've been wasting. Let the past keep talking, let the old ghosts call, I ain't gonna let my yesterday define it all. I'm still worth saving, I ain't giving up on me. [Bridge — Piano and lead vocal alone, then gospel harmonies build] If you're sitting in the dark tonight, Thinking you have lost your way, You don't have to fix your whole life, You just have to face today. One more breath, one more mile, One more reason to try. You are more than where you've been, And it's not too late to begin. [Final Chorus — Explosive drums, Southern rock guitars, gospel choir, passionate vocal] We're still worth saving, still got a soul, Still got some miles on this broken road. We've been lost, we've been down, we've been barely hanging on, But there's a little bit of fight in us that ain't gone. We ain't proud of every road we've taken, But we're more than all the chances we've been wasting. Let the past keep talking, let the old ghosts call, We ain't gonna let yesterday define us all. We're still worth saving! Still got a reason to believe! We're still worth saving! And we're finally breaking free! [Outro — Band drops away to piano and a raw vocal] I'm not who I was... And I don't have to be. I'm still worth saving. Starting here with me.
