Lyrics

A Mile Of Bad Track I have walked a road of broken dreams As sharp as shards of glass Been broke and bent, sold and spent Breeding new with demons past I have toed the line ‘tween love and hate Taking comfort how it came Prayed to the Lord, lived by the sword But bathed more in the fire than rain I offer you no apologies Or excuses for the lack I pass through life like an old freight train Rollin’ along on a mile of bad track My old man was gone before I came And that’s a hard old road to take Was born a child so meek and mild But soon learned from that mistake I was on the run ‘fore I could walk From the backside of a hand I’m here to tell when born in hell It ain’t clothes that will make the man I ask you for no prayers for me No redemption or more flack I pass through life like an old freight train Rollin’ along on a mile of bad track No moral found in this my tale No thoughts on right or wrong All you will find within my rhymes Is a hope that lingers on The fires of Hell have a foul smell And dark clouds fill my skies Pray to the Lord fall on the sword Cause prayers go still unrealized Don’t worry now about my soul It’s gray but it’s not black I pass through life like an old freight train Rollin’ along on a mile of bad track Rollin’ along on a mile of bad track ⓒ 2004 ITSMYSONG MUSIC (ASCAP).
