[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff with heavy vibrato] [drums and bass enter with a heavy hit] [Verse 1] [gritty male vocals] I've been walking on a promise That the good Lord never kept Wearing every bad decision Like a chain around my neck They say faith can move a mountain Mine just buried me alive I've been praying for a lifeline But I'm running out of time And I'm tired of begging shadows for a little light [guitar lick] If the angels ain't listening Maybe the demons might [Chorus] [full band, driving energy] 'Cause I got no road home Just the crossroads calling With the thunder rolling in And the night sky falling I swore I'd never bleed For the devil's throne But the world left me standing With no road home [Verse 2] [music pulls back, bass and drums continue] There's a whisper in the willows Says it's time to pay the debt My soul ain't worth a dollar But it's all I've got left I feel fire in the distance Like a welcome I should fear But salvation never answers When I gave up all my tears If they ever see me now They ain't giving a sign So I'll walk into the dark And pray I make it out alive [Chorus] 'Cause I got no road home Just the crossroads calling With the thunder rolling in And the night sky falling I swore I'd never bleed For the devil's throne But the world left me standing With no road home [Bridge] [sustained guitar chords] I ain't looking for a crown Just a way through the night If the devil shows up first I think I'm all out of fight I'm too tired to run Too stubborn to die I'll shake the hand of death And keep my eyes to the sky [vocal belt] (Aah!) [Guitar Solo] [bluesy melodic solo with high bends and distortion] [Outro] 'Cause I've got no road home But I'm still here standing With the thunder in my bones And the dark demanding If I'm signing away What I've always known Then forgive me for fighting With no road home [final guitar chord rings out]
