I was out there on the road too long Didn't think I'd hear a welcome song But the sun came through the window wide And I felt the current turn the tide The years I spent just drifting through I'm leaving all that gray behind with you You knew me back before the bottom gave You saw the man I was through every wave And now I'm standing here with open hands Asking you to walk into the promised land Oh, we're gonna get it right this time Gonna let the light pour through the lines Every broken step we took before Is just the floor we're standing on for more Come on back and walk with me now The good years are ahead somehow I spent a long time trying to find the road Spent a long time carrying too much load But every morning broke a little brighter And the heavy got a little lighter Now I see the road ahead is clear And I'm ready to have you near You were the one who never let me go You held a space where I could grow And now I'm standing here with open arms Ready for the shelter of your calm Oh, we're gonna get it right this time Gonna let the light pour through the lines Every broken step we took before Is just the floor we're standing on for more Come on back and walk with me now The good years are ahead somehow I know I let you down a hundred times But I'm not that man now, I've changed my mind I've seen enough to know what's real and true The only thing I ever want is you Yeah, we're gonna get it right this time Gonna let the light pour through the lines Every broken step we took before Is just the floor we're standing on for more Come on back and walk with me now The good years are ahead somehow (Walk with me now...) (The good years ahead...) (Yeah...) [Mandolin Outro]
