Lonely Dirt Road Lyrics

Lonely Dirt Road Lyrics by DAX

When I need space that’s where I go

A place to escape that nobody knows

Where I feel free to let things go

And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain

All the emotions I cannot explain

It’s where I found God

And filled that whole

It’s he, myself and I

On that lonely dirt road

I needed somewhere to take my mistakes

I didn’t want my family to see me cry

They’ll never know I’m

carrying all of this weight

Dealing with the pressure

of trying to provide

No sign of struggle can show on my face

They ask if I’m OK I just flash them a smile

Fire up that engine to take me away

I’m speeding through emotions with every mile

On that road is where I find my peace

I remember daddy told me about some times like these

On that road is where my minds at ease

I keep driving life away, rejecting change so

When I need space that’s where I go

A place to escape that nobody knows

Where I feel free to let things go

And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain

All the emotions I cannot explain

It’s where I found God

And filled that whole

It’s he, myself and I

On that lonely dirt road

I tried my best to plant the seeds

And then I watered everything that was in my life

But as a man, the only flowers that you get

Are when you’re 6 feet under on the day you die

I think I feel the pain my father felt

It’s finally sinking in

looking back all I see is his eyes

He said that house is not a home

Unless you build it on respect

with some kids and a loving wife

If these walls could talk

I bet they’d say it’s all my fault

That I don’t try hard

That I ain’t man enough

That I ain’t standing up

That I just burn everything

that my hands touch

If these walls could talk

I bet they’d say I’m to blame

That I’m the one who put myself inside of all of these chains

That my addictive personalities what ran them away

And that I hurt myself by staying quiet

And not explaining I’m broken

In places, I can’t even see

I know there’s gotta be a heaven

Because the hell that’s in me

Is taking a dangerous toll

That I’m paying with all of my soul

When I need space that’s where I go

A place to escape that nobody knows

Where I feel free to let things go

And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred I pack my pain

All the emotions I cannot explain

It’s where I found God

And filled that whole

It’s he, myself and I

On that lonely dirt road
