Lyrics
[Verse 1] I took the late train past the county line With a paper map and a borrowed dime Your old address folded under my hand Like a promise I was trying to understand [Pre-Chorus] I was tired of running from the truth Every mile kept pointing back to you [Chorus] You got a way of turning hard roads gold Making a restless heart feel less alone When the whole world says I’ve gone too far You pull me back by knowing who I am You got a way, yes, you got a way Of putting daylight in a beaten man [Verse 2] I found your porch beneath the falling snow Same blue door, but the years had changed its tone You looked at me like no time had passed Then laughed and said, “You always walk too fast” [Pre-Chorus] I had a thousand words to make things right But your open arms said more that night [Chorus] You got a way of turning hard roads gold Making a restless heart feel less alone When the whole world says I’ve gone too far You pull me back by knowing who I am You got a way, yes, you got a way Of putting daylight in a beaten man [Bridge] I learned the truth ain’t dressed in fine display It lives in what we choose to do and say A steady hand, a door left open wide A little mercy waiting on the other side [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] You got a way of turning hard roads gold Making a restless heart feel less alone When the whole world says I’ve gone too far You pull me back by knowing who I am You got a way, yes, you got a way Of putting daylight in a beaten man You got a way, yes, you got a way And I’m coming home a better man [Outro] I’m coming home a better man I’m coming home a better man
