(Verse 1) Born in a town where the pain runs deep, Good folks work hard, but the nights don’t sleep. Mama was cryin’, bills stacked high, Daddy left young, never told us why. Tried to be strong, but I fell too low, Chasin’ fast money, lost my soul. Whiskey and smoke, numb the pain inside, Lookin’ for hope, but it’s hard to find. (Chorus) Ain’t no chains gonna hold me down, Ain’t no past gonna steal my crown. Jesus took my hurt, my shame, my load, Now I’m walkin’ free on that Grace Road. No more runnin’, no more doubt, I once was lost, but I’m found now. Took my burdens, made ‘em light, Now I see the world in a brand-new light. (Verse 2) Thought I could earn it, thought I could win, But grace ain’t somethin’ that you work to get in. "God showed His love," yeah, He died for me, Hung on a cross so I could be free. "Confess with your mouth, believe inside," Jesus is Lord, and He’s still alive! "The old is gone, the new is here," Left my old self in the rearview mirror. (Chorus - Repeat) Ain’t no chains gonna hold me down, Ain’t no past gonna steal my crown. Jesus took my hurt, my shame, my load, Now I’m walkin’ free on that Grace Road.
