D O W N  T H I S  R O A D  

(Bless me father for I have sinned….)

 

He was such a gentlemen, taken' care of everythin'

Three months together ask her to move in

But this house is not a home, more like imprisonin'

She can't leave, she can't go-- no family no friends

Every word out her mouth is stupid, she's condemned

Just wants ta make em happy, that ain't in his plans

What's he wana hear? Confined by pain and fear

Blow by blow breaks her mind body and spirit

 

He says he loves her so bad

Like no man she's ever had

If she really loved em back

Learn how to proper act

She's failin' off this stage

Inside she pleading to be saved

But now he's grippin' so tight

She thinks she just might suffocate

 

Oh, she never been down this road before and what's in store

Another lost day, another lost hope

So many promises been broke

Could fly so far away, oh

 

Thank god she finally got the strength, now she a hundred miles away

Lost and alone, without a penny to her name

And from anyone she love, she been forsake

One mistake too many girl, now you become estranged

So she starts a hustling', doing with what she can

But it seems that these men…only really want one thing

She at their beckoning', make the call and she fall

But angels without wings can still find love in hearts of kings

 

She meets a true savior

Makin' lots of paper

Anything ya need girl

I can pay for

All ya gotta do

Is leave and never look back

Treat ya like a queen

Please, tell me can ya trust in that?

 

(Chorus)

 

This man he treats her so good, loves her like a man should

Making future plans, a house, a baby, wedding bands

She trust him with her whole life, so follows in his vice

Rail after rail, they blown down that dusty trail

Cuz she got some real shame, loathin', hate, disgust and blame

She trying to forget, but she always seem to feel the same

Self medicates the only way, until one day...

She's hearin' all these voices while the doctors operate

 

I heard your cries child dry your eyes

She hear him say

I got your light come make it bright

It's yours to take

I know you think you made mistakes

You were my guide, to save a life

I give you wings

 

(Chorus)
