lyrics

Straighter Road
(words & music Markus Rill)

I made a wreck of my dream
it took me a while to find out what was left of me
I made a mess of the truth
it took me a while to figure out what was left for me do

Now I’m following a straighter road
I’m learning what I should have known
no more excuses made and no more lies will be told
there’s just one way for me to go
I’ll be following a straighter road, straighter road

I’ve had enough of the dark
had enough of doing damage to my soul and tearing up my heart
a brand new chapter begins
and I gotta find a balance in the grand new scheme of things

Now I’m traveling on a straighter road
learning what I should have known
no more excuses made and no more lies will be told
till the blacktop turns to gold
I’ll be following a straighter road, straighter road

And I can’t go back and right my every wrong
they still lie heavy on my soul
I’ve been weighed down by my conscience for too long
I gotta get back on my feet and roll along
on a straighter road

Now I’m following a straighter road
learning what I should have known
no more excuses made and no more white lies will be told
there’s just one way for me to go
I’ll be following a straighter road, straighter road
