Lyrics

[Intro]

Judge stamped the paper, I folded it twice,

Walked out with a grin and a gas-station pie.

[Verse 1]

I was bent on bad habits, all fog in my head,

Made dumb little deals with the couch and the bed.

Now the lawyer says, “Sign,” and I scribble my name,

She keeps the good blender; I’ll keep the shame.

No more pills in the pocket, no powder parade,

I’m cleaning my mess, paying debts that I made.

I’m not proud of the wreckage, the yelling, the lies,

But I’m done turning trouble to somebody’s prize.

[Chorus]

I’m walkin’ the trail to freedom, hey!

Past the old fence, past yesterday!

My boots go clomp and my knees go squeak,

I’m free-ish now, and I’m feelin’ unique!

I’m walkin’ the trail to freedom, hoo!

One foot forward, then the other one too!

If I trip on a root, I’ll get up and grin,

That trail’s got room for a brand-new begin!

[Verse 2]

Fast mouth, fast feet, fast thoughts in a pile,

I can rhyme through a sentence and trip on a smile.

I was chasing a buzz like a dog after mail,

Now I’m chasing my balance and walking the trail.

My old ring’s in a drawer with a coupon for soup,

My pride took a hit, but it’s still in the group.

I called up my brother; he said, “Keep it plain:

Tell the truth, take the help, don’t go back to that train.”

So I do one hard day, then I stack up another,

Make amends where I can, don’t blame it on others.

No glamor in the crash, no cool in the cost,

Just a clown with a map learning what he had lost.

[Chorus]

I’m walkin’ the trail to freedom, hey!

Past the old fence, past yesterday!

My boots go clomp and my knees go squeak,

I’m free-ish now, and I’m feelin’ unique!

I’m walkin’ the trail to freedom, hoo!

One foot forward, then the other one too!

If I trip on a root, I’ll get up and grin,

That trail’s got room for a brand-new begin!

[Verse 3]

I can talk at a hundred, then swallow a word,

Like a goose with a megaphone chasing a bird.

I got one cheap backpack and a sandwich gone flat,

A clean pair of socks and a ridiculous hat.

The trail bends left by the old water tower,

I stop for a minute and sit for an hour.

Breathe in, breathe out, let the dumb jokes land,

No grand magic fix, just a next right hand.

I’ll pay what I owe, I’ll show up on time,

I’ll quit dressing regret in a clever little rhyme.

If the past wants a rematch, it can wait in the rain,

I’ve got miles to walk and a life to reclaim.

[Bridge]

Hey now, slow down, count the fence posts,

One for the folks I hurt the most.

I can’t undo the words I threw,

But I can make the next ones true.

[Verse 4]

I used to call chaos a party, no lie,

Then wake up at noon with a mouth full of dry.

Now I’m learning the names of the birds by the creek,

And I’m asking for help when the week gets bleak.

My ex has her peace, I’ve got work to do,

No cheap shot from me, no blame pushed through.

We both get a future, we both get a say,

And the trail keeps on going past the end of the day.

I’m still a loud fool with a bent little stride,

But I’m facing the mess instead of ducking aside.

Fast rap, slow growth, that’s the odd little deal:

I can’t outrun healing, but I can make it real.

[Final Chorus]

I’m walkin’ the trail to freedom, hey!

Past the old fence, past yesterday!

My boots go clomp and my knees go squeak,

I’m free-ish now, and I’m feelin’ unique!

I’m walkin’ the trail to freedom, hoo!

One foot forward, then the other one too!

If I trip on a root, I’ll get up and grin,

That trail’s got room for a brand-new begin!

[Outro]

One foot, then two, let the old road end,

Keep walking, keep honest, keep making amends.
