Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
[Verse 1]
Haven’t been happy in a while, empty smiles
Plenty miles living vile, still a child, in a trial
You would all see that I’m guilty, sinning it don’t complete me
Wish grace it wasn’t increasing, I hate it and don’t wanna repeat
Believe me, sometimes I try to fight, it still defeats me
At night I lie awake when I know that I should be sleeping
Dreaming, now that’s my favorite place to be
Where there’s rest from all this stress yeah I can be free
No one can know about this man I gotta hide it
But I find it dies when I shine it in the light and fight it
That’s right, don’t deny it, alright I won’t be quiet
Cause I know I’m not the only one who’s fighting a giant
Ok, I just want to slay him today
He’s mocking my God day after day, I’m hating the way that I stray
And how I stay in this coffin
But I’ve got some smooth stones in my pocket, let’s let em loose like a rocket
[Chorus]
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
[Verse 2]
So I let it fly and then it missed
Maybe I just didn’t commit? This hopeless feeling persists
And burrows deeply within, I left the narrow again
Thrown in the dungeon by the giant despair
Sitting in this prison bad decisions for nine years
Feel like I’ve been losing my sight here, I’m lightyears
From where I should be, my life is losing its flavor
I just wanna be free from all this wicked behavior
I know what’s right to do but I’ve been choosing what’s easy
I don’t like to lose, this habit’s hurting me deeply
God won’t you free me, I’m lost and I’m bleeding
Toss me the keys please, I want to be leaving
But I’m still here, drinking from a
Broken cistern of my own tears but don’t fear
There’s grace for your mistakes though you stray to a back road
Your sinning was forgiven on the cross so go back home
[Chorus]
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
[Bridge]
Lord what I should say to you?
Lord can I please stay with you?
[Chorus]
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
[Outro]
Why you on a back road?
Off the narrow path it’s what I chose
Yeah I know It’s sad and I lack hope
Father help me back home
