Lyrics
I've been a drifter,
been on the road
Bunked in with strangers,
ease the cold
I've waited in diners,
I've worked in the fields
Never asked the right questions,
to find out what's real.
Chorus
So, I paid the price,
for someone else's dream
Didn't know I was buyin,
'till it wiped me out clean
But I ain't finished,
got some miles left to go
To bury my shadows,
and sift out my Soul.
Some days I've been broken,
left behind
Sittin' in some truck stop,
waiting for a sign
I've never been lucky,
at least not so far
And I'm weary of the struggle,
to find my own star.
Chorus
But I ain't finished,
got some miles left to go
To burn all these alters,
and sift out my Soul
I ain't done yet,
my cup's still half full
So I'm raising this glass,
to lift up my Soul.
I'm burying the past,
to sift out my Soul.
