I packed my bags When the sun came up I Left behind the town Where I grew up Dirt roads and dreams They pulled me away But your memory stayed It led my way Through the mountains Across the plains Chasing whispers of your name Every mile, every prayer Hoping someday I'd find you there I faced the storms I've braved the night Held on to faith with all my might Every step, the fire burned Knowing love was what I'd earned It's been a long road to find my love Through the stars and skies above Every twist, every turn Every song I sang Brought me closer to where you hang A long road to find my love But baby You're the one I've dreamed of From Texas hills To the Tennessee lights Through endless days And restless nights I've walked alone Where the river bends Praying this journey Would find its end Through the thunder, through the rain I've carried hope through the pain And Every heartache, every fall My Love You were worth it all It's been a long road to find my love Through the stars and skies above Every twist, every turn Every song I sang Brought me closer to where you hang I see your face in the evening glow A beacon shining, telling me to go Now I'm here, it's all so clear Every mile was worth the tears yeah Every mile was worth the tears yeah
