Two-Lane Surrender

Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke up broke down
In a room I knew too well
Same old bottle on the table
Same old lie I told myself
I said I had it handled
But the handle slipped away
I was losing to the habit
One more night, one more day

Pre-Chorus
Then I said it out loud
No more proud man show
I am powerless here
That was where I had to go

Chorus
Hands off my soul now
I cannot run this road alone
Hands off my soul now
I need a power I can know
(Hands off my soul now)
(Lead me home)

Verse 2
I made a hard list of names
Every wound I left behind
Every door I kicked open
Every promise I declined
I looked in that hard mirror
And I did not look away
Found the wreckage in my pocket
And the wreckage in my face

Pre-Chorus
Then I asked for mercy
For the scars I made
To clear out the rotten parts
What I could not raise

Chorus
Hands off my soul now
I cannot run this road alone
Hands off my soul now
I need a power I can know
(Hands off my soul now)
(Lead me home)

Verse 3
I went back with my head low
To the ones I had let bleed
Said I’m sorry for the damage
Said the truth is what I need
I paid what I could pay back
Where a broken man can stand
And when I was wrong, I owned it
With a trembling, honest hand

Bridge
Now I’m learning God my way
Not the one I used to fake
In the early light of morning
I can feel a new heart wake
And if I can keep this straight
If I can walk this line
I’ll carry this message дальше
To the lost and left behind

Chorus
Hands off my soul now
I cannot run this road alone
Hands off my soul now
I need a power I can know
(Hands off my soul now)
(Lead me home)
