These cobblestone streets and the Spanish you speak, all remind me
That I'm so far away from the cotton fields and ways I grew up on
I'm living this dream, and I'm trying to find grace to sustain me
The temptations too much and I give into the rush one more time
It's gonna be a hard road home
It's gonna be a hard road home
It's gonna be a hard road home
It's gonna be a hard road home
The places I see, and the people I meet, they don't change me
I take a piece from each one and I steal away
Like a thief in the night
I've let myself down and I've picked myself up, and I've grown
I found mistakes are just lessons you leave behind
For someone to learn from
It's gonna be a hard road home
It's gonna be a hard road home
It's gonna be a hard road home
It's gonna be a hard road home
The sun keeps on rising, and falls in the evenings
It always reminds me that time does the healing of wild hearted
Rebels and renegades who stay on the run
But make no mistake, it's not time to slow down
I've made the changes, when love comes around
I'll kiss her sweet lips and I'll take my seat at the table
Cause I ain't afraid
Of the hard road home
I'm looking ahead
To the hard road home
Redemption it lays
On the hard road home
So I'll make my way
On the hard road home
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
