down that road

Sunrise burnin' on a dusty track, Another morning, ain't no turning back. Hear the whispers on the wind blowin' free, Old man's warnings, comin' back to me. Said, "Son, you run on for a long, long time, Chasin' shadows, crossin' every line." Oh, I'm goin' down that road, my soul to claim, Got a fire burnin' with a righteous flame. This old highway, it won't let me hide, Hear the thunder deep inside. Rock my soul, yeah, rock it to the core, 'Til these weary feet can't run no more. Saw a long-tongued liar, slick as desert oil, Spinning tales that tangle, just to get his spoil. Watched the midnight rider, rollin' through the town, Thinkin' no one's lookin', no one's gonna cut him down. But the Good Book tells ya, plain and cold, What you sow in darkness, will unfold. Oh, I'm goin' down that road, my soul to claim, Got a fire burnin' with a righteous flame. This old highway, it won't let me hide, Hear the thunder deep inside. Rock my soul, yeah, rock it to the core, 'Til these weary feet can't run no more. Spent some nights out under stars so bright, Head been wet with the midnight's lonely light. Knelt down weary, whispered out a prayer, Felt a peace descendin', clearin' up the air. (Building crescendo with fast violin runs) Yeah, that old voice, it spoke so sweet and low, Told me where a man's true path should go! Oh, I'm goin' down that road, my soul to claim, Got a fire burnin' with a righteous flame. This old highway, it won't let me hide, Hear the thunder deep inside. Rock my soul, yeah, rock it to the core, 'Til these weary feet can't run no more. Rock my soul... yeah. Goin' down that road... Rock my soul...
