[Verse]
He raised his hand like a thundercloud
The air would freeze
I couldn’t make a sound
Ten years old
Behind bars
No light
Dreams turned to dust in the cold of night

[Prechorus]
They called me trouble
Called me lost
Each step I took
It paid a cost

[Chorus]
But the road is long
And the heart is tough
Pain carves a map when the world gets rough
Key West winds to the Salt Lake dust
Nevada City
Here I trust

[Verse 2]
Thirty years in a bottle's grasp
Every swallow a shadow
Every memory a rasp
She loved me still
Through the worst of my ways
Till death took her hand
And Mom followed in days

[Prechorus]
I thought I’d break
I thought I’d drown
But my feet kept moving town to town

[Chorus]
The road is long
And the heart is tough
Pain carves a map when the world gets rough
Key West winds to the Salt Lake dust
Nevada City
Here I trust
