Wasn't easy on these back roads

I had the dirt beneath my nails

And my heart was full of aching

From a story I'd never tell

And I walked through the fire, when I got my scars to show

Fields of doubt, the seed I always sow

I took a hard road alone

I took a hard road alone

Broken and bruised, win or you lose, pain and pride

You learn how to carry on

You learn how to carry on

Stumble and fall, back's on the wall, weight on the soul

You learn how to carry it

You learn to carry on

And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

And on, and on and carry on

And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

And on, and on, yeah, carry on

I walked through the cities where nobody knows my name

Yeah, I worked two jobs just to play the game

I took hit after hit, but I learned how to stand

I built my own way with my own two hands

I took a hard road alone

I took a hard road alone

Broken and bruised, win or you lose, pain and pride

You learn how to carry on

You learn how to carry on

Stumble and fall, back's on the wall, weight on the soul

You learn how to carry it

You learn to carry on

And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

And on, and on and carry on

And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

And on, and on, yeah, carry on
