Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I found an old receipt in the truck last spring

For a diner meal and a borrowed ring

Back when every promise felt easy to make

And I thought every road was mine to take

[Pre-Chorus]

Some doors closed softly, some slammed hard

Some lessons left a lasting mark

[Chorus]

I’ve got miles in my rearview, truth in my hands

A few broken dreams I still understand

I lost what I loved, but I learned what stays

When the heart gets tested by the weight of days

I wouldn’t trade the hard choices now

They taught this restless man to stand his ground

[Verse 2]

I let good people go when pride spoke first

Held my silence tight till the silence hurt

There were nights I chose the work over home

And mornings that showed me what I’d left alone

[Pre-Chorus]

You can’t turn back what the years have done

But you can face the rising sun

[Chorus]

I’ve got miles in my rearview, truth in my hands

A few broken dreams I still understand

I lost what I loved, but I learned what stays

When the heart gets tested by the weight of days

I wouldn’t trade the hard choices now

They taught this restless man to stand his ground

[Bridge]

If I could speak to the boy I was

I’d say, hold on when the holding’s tough

Love isn’t weakness, and leaving ain’t shame

The road may change, but you remain

[Final Chorus]

I’ve got miles in my rearview, truth in my hands

A life full of scars I can finally understand

I lost what I loved, but I learned what stays

And I carry those lessons through the rest of my days

I wouldn’t trade the hard choices now

They taught this restless man to stand his ground

Yes, they taught this restless man to stand his ground

[Outro]

I’m still here, still choosing somehow
