The Road Ain't Kind

The sun keeps setting, but the night won't end I've been walking this road with no sign of head Got a pocket full of wishes, got a handful of dust Got a heart that keeps beating, but it don't know who to trust They said time's a healer, but time just takes Every love I lost left another heartbreak Ain't no map for the lost, ain't no guide for the blind Just a voice in the wind saying, girl, don't waste your time Oh, the road ain't kind, but it keeps moving on Ain't no mercy when you're out here alone I've been chasing something I can't name Maybe all this running is just running in vain I've been searching, I've been waiting I've been praying on salvation But the road just keeps on taking And I keep giving more I've been losing, I've been learning Every mile my soul keeps burning But I know there's something turning So I keep moving forward Met a man by the river, he was preaching to the wind Said the road don't love you, it just lets you pretend He had whiskey in his hand, he had sorrow in his eyes Told me love ain't a promise, it's a hell of a lie I've been fooled, I've been broken, I've been turned inside out Been the preacher, been the sinner, been the one filled with doubt But the more I keep moving, the less I belong Guess the road don't stop, so I just tag along Oh, the road ain't kind, but it keeps moving on Ain't no mercy when you're out here alone I've been chasing something I can't name Maybe all this running is just running in vain I've been searching, I've been waiting I've been praying on salvation But the road just keeps on taking And I keep giving more I've been losing, I've been learning Every mile my soul keeps burning But I know there's something turning So I keep moving forward Ooh, tell me when it ends Yeah Ooh, tell me when it ends Yeah Ooh, tell me who I am If this road don't stop and the past don't change Then I guess I just keep walking all the same I've been searching, I've been waiting I've been praying on salvation But the road just keeps on taking And I keep giving more I've been losing, I've been learning Every mile my soul keeps burning But I know there's something turning So I keep moving forward Ain't no answers in the sky Ain't no truth in a goodbye But if I stop, I might just fade So I keep walking anyway
