I made up my mind a long time ago
That I traveled this whole world alone
Been to cities, been to towns and back
Been on gravel roads and railroad tracks
Now they say this life's not for the weak,
So I thickened my skin and moved to Tennessee
It's a dark and never-ending ride
But I pray to God almost every night
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother,
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part, Oh I hate that part
Ooohhhhhh
Now I hold my dreams like a stone on fire
I keep them lit but raised them higher
'Cause my hands and body's think it's too close
It's a heavy burden it's one I chose
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother,
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part, Oh I hate that part
And I will live through the fuel and flames
And I will fall down get up back again
'Cause I know it's simply hard to prove it
Unleash but not uproot it 'til I come back to you
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother,
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part, Oh I hate that part
Oh I hate that part, Oh I hate that part
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
Oh I hate that part
