The County Line (Part 3)

[Verse 1] I rode farther Than I'd ever gone Past the rivers and the mountains Long after I'd left home I chased freedom Down every winding trail Some roads led me to sunshine Some led through wind and hail [Pre-Chorus] And I remembered The things you said to me Some carried me through daylight Some stayed inside my head [Chorus] Every road can leave you lonely Every dream can test your soul Sometimes all you've got to guide you Are the words you've always known When the darkness starts to find you And the night feels cold and long Keep on riding through the silence Keep on holding on [Verse 2] Then one evening Under western skies I met someone I wasn't looking for Standing by my side He knew laughter He knew pain like me And somewhere in the miles behind us The road became our own [Pre-Chorus] And for the first time The road felt less alone The world was still a river But it started feeling like home [Final Chorus] Every road can leave you lonely Every dream can test your soul Sometimes all you've got to guide you Are the words you've always known When the darkness starts to find you And the night feels cold and long Keep on riding through the silence Keep on holding on [Final Drop] Ride on! Ride on! Ride on! [Outro] My father told me... Hold your head high. Don't be afraid to roam. The world's a mighty river... But you'll always know the way home. For years I thought He was teaching me how to leave. Now I understand. He was teaching me How to build a home. And now there's a little one on the way.
