Cumberland River Road Back Home lyrics

I moved far away from home
Not yet a man I had to roam
My father told me son don't go
I said I gotta make it on my own

chorus

I found out quick the times get rough
The choices made when life get tough
And I couldn't make them all alone
But I can't go back there oh not me
I can't let him know I won't let him see
That maybe he was right and I was wrong

Only god knows how I've tried
I think that I'll just swallow my pride
Pack my things and go back home
Cause I've been gone for way to long

chorus

I found out quick the times get rough

The choices made when life get tough
And I couldn't make them all alone
But I'm going back there now you see
I can't wait to see my family
Because I'm not the man that I use to be

Staring down that lonely road
And at the end waits my old home
Time has took it away from me
One lonely grave is all I see

chorus

I found out quick the times get rough
The choices made when life get tough
And I couldn't make them on my own
When I got back dad wasn't there
To let him know that I still care
And maybe this was right where I belong
