Head High on I-80

Lyrics

Verse 1
You took the long road, now keep it real
Recovery ain't talk, it's the way you heal
Interstate miles, teachable mind
Open up deep, leave the old shame behind
Let the past pass by, let it lose your name
What happened back then don't own your frame
Patience when the day feels sharp and cold
Every hard-won breath is a story told

Pre-Chorus
Stay low, stay steady
When the urge gets heavy
Look up, look through
There's a light in you

Chorus
Head high, head high
Keep your head high
You fell, get up
Keep your head high
Each small step counts
Each small step shines
You're worth it, you're worth it
Keep your head high

Verse 2
Be grateful for the wins that look so small
First clear morning, first step, first call
Thank your higher power every mile
He stayed with you through the storm and trial
When cravings shout, don't let them steer
Hold your ground, keep your heart clear
If you slip, don't stay on that floor
Get back up strong, ask for more

Pre-Chorus
Stay low, stay steady
When the road gets messy
Breathe in, breathe through
There's a strength in you

Chorus
Head high, head high
Keep your head high
You fell, get up
Keep your head high
Each small step counts
Each small step shines
You're worth it, you're worth it
Keep your head high

Bridge
No wasted pain, no dead-end years
Just lessons learned through sweat and tears
What was before can't chain your sky
You are not your worst goodbye

Chorus
Head high, head high
Keep your head high
You fell, get up
Keep your head high
Each small step counts
Each small step shines
You're worth it, you're worth it
Keep your head high
