Lyrics
Sometimes it hurts so bad
Sometimes I feel so sad
But I know that I'm a stronger man than I was yesterday
And I will not faint beneath the load
I’ll keep on rollin’ down the road
Fumbling for the brakes I speed toward my judgment day
Wondering if it's not too late to try and change my ways
What’s happening to the coat of many colors that wear
It’s unraveling at the seams and it’s getting me nowhere, and
Sometimes it hurts so bad
Sometimes I feel so sad
But I know that I'm a stronger man than I was yesterday
I will not faint beneath the load
I’ll keep on rollin’ down the road
Lord knows I want to do it right and so I count the cost
Of laying down the easy life and picking up my cross
I know that heaven's patriarchs are waiting 'round the bend
And I'm daring to believe that I will see them in the end, so
I’m gonna keep my cool
Follow the Golden Rule
And trust that I'm a better man than I was yesterday
I will not faint beneath the load
I’ll keep on rollin’ down the road
I roll with the punches take life on the chin
I’m not shadowboxing I’m fighting to win
No victory shouts from the enemy camp
I’ve stepped in the ring and I plan to be champ
Sometimes it hurts so bad
Sometimes I feel so sad
But I know that I'm a better man than I was yesterday
If I hit a detour I’ll just go the other way
I’m gonna figure out this stuff before I’m old and gray
And I will not faint beneath the load
I’ll keep on rollin’ down the road
