Lyrics:

Road That I Paved

Sometimes I wonder how I’ve ever gotten this far
I guess I’m just lucky or is my fate born in the stars
I long for a purpose but I know at the end of the day
I’m just a traveler on this road that I paved
This road that I paved

I’d like to believe that I’m just getting wiser with age
But life is a riddle and the answers continually change
If I’ve learned just a little it’s that I have but myself to blame
For any misfortune on this road that I paved
This road that I paved

You spend your whole life trying to keep all four wheels on the tracks
'Cause once you jump ship, yeah that’s time that you’ll never get back

The sins of my father I’ll carry with me to my grave
But it’s my children’s future that I keep on trying to change
It all seems so futile 'cause they’ll have to find their own way
We’re all just travelers on this road that we pave
Destined to lie down in this bed that we’ve made
I’m just a sideshow in a one man parade
A long distance traveler on this road that I paved
This road that I paved
