lyrics

It's a cold dark road we travel on
Gets a little darker with every turn of the stone
Highway's long and the cold turns warm
There's a home ahead where the light shines strong

Woke up this morning from a beautiful dream
The skies were blue and the streets were clean
Miles behind me are lessons learned
Your role in life is predetermined

Travel on
Travel on

Lost a friend just the other day
The Lord came down and took him away
Question God such a damn short life
That boy's body's gone but his spirit's bright

Travel on
Travel on

God is good
God is mean
God does things that you can't believe
Help me Jesus
Help me please
Find the light when it's my turn to leave

[solo]

Travel on
Travel on
We're all gonna travel on
That child up in Heaven gonna help me sing this song
That angel up in Heaven gonna help me sing this song
