[Verse 1] I was a wayward soul And a broken-down man Too proud to ask for help Too wild to hold my hand Had a fire in my chest But I fed it all wrong She saw the good in me When I was barely hanging on [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Boy, don't quit on me There's gold in that restless heart" She kept a light on our plan When I could not see that far [Chorus] She believed in me When I could not She believed in me Right through my darkness She saw my better days Before they showed She believed in me And I found my road (I found my road) [Verse 2] Now there's a ring of keys And a hard-earned front porch My mind knows honest work Like it never did before I still get the urge to fall When the dust starts to rise But I come home to her And I recognize my life [Pre-Chorus] She said, "Boy, don't quit on me There's gold in that restless heart" She kept a light on our plan When I could not see that far [Chorus] She believed in me When I could not She believed in me Right through my darkness She saw my better days Before they showed She believed in me And I found my road (I found my road) [Bridge] If you asked me who I was Back when I was rough and lost I'd say I was just a man Too stubborn to be soft But she saw the storm could turn Into a harvest in the field And her love laid down a future I could finally build [Chorus] She believed in me When I could not She believed in me Right through the darkness She saw my better days Before they showed She believed in me And I found my road (I found my road)
