Lyrics
I had everything, lost it all
I built ties of gold, an' watched 'em fall
I tried my best but I guess my best
Just wasn't good enough
I made promises and broke 'em
I've laid loved ones lives wide open
And I've got a broken heart
But I've come this far, and I ain't givin' up
I pray for a stronger back
I pray for a bigger heart
I pray for the will to keep on walking
When the way is dark
I follow that winding road
Just try to stay on track
I don't pray for a lighter load
I pray for a stronger back
I've seen losers get a second chance
I've seen miracles and happenstance
I've seen long shots come from way behind
To win the race
And I've had dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke
It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope
And it's dark right now, but I know somehow
Some day, the sun will find a way to shine down on my face
I pray for a stronger back
I pray for a bigger heart
I pray for the will to keep on walking
When the way is dark
I follow that winding road
Just try to stay on track
I don't pray for a lighter load
I pray for a stronger back
I follow that winding road
Just try to stay on track
I don't pray for a lighter load
I pray for a stronger back
