Places No One Should Go

(Verse 1) I’ve slept under bridges and neon halos, Heard the river whisper things no man should know. Laid my heart down in the Delta rain, Just tryin’ to wash away the pain. (Pre-Chorus) Ain’t no halo, ain’t no crown, Just a long road tryin’ to settle me down. (Chorus) I’ve been to places the devil wouldn’t go, Met with people who got nowhere else to go. Seen sights only God could’ve blessed, And walked through valleys I’ll never confess. (Verse 2) I’ve prayed in bars with a broken choir, Felt salvation in a funeral pyre. Heard mama sing from a thousand miles, “Boy, keep walkin’, just make it worthwhile.” (Pre-Chorus) Ain’t no preacher gonna save my soul, Just a six-string truth and a long dirt road. (Chorus) I’ve been to places the devil wouldn’t go, Held the hands of hearts that had no home. Seen mercy in the eyes of the low, And been to places that no one should go. (Bridge) There’s redemption in the ashes, Grace in the pain, Ain’t no saint ever stood Till he fell in the rain. (Outro) So if you find me on that edge again, Don’t pull me back — I’ll make amends. ‘Cause heaven and hell both know my soul, I’ve been to places no one should go.
