been bruised and battered,
old life's been torn and tattered
Way past the point I couldn't tell,
was I fighting for the world or just myself
Many hear the call, but few are chosen
But there's a strength from knowing
Gonna make it for the others
They vanish, come and gone,
But hide what you really feel
Leaving most things unspoken
Knowin' there's big shoes to fill
Chasin' a rose -colored dream
Keepin' faith in things unseen
Battle of wheels, chasin' dreams
On the roads to Nashville
I ain't got no angel to save me
Still can't just let it be
I've walked a thousand miles
and found comfort in my skin
Memorized by a Tennessee starry sky
Carried away by what could be
Belief in what only I can see
I'm a sheer force of will
Knowing there's big shoes to fill
Chasin' a rose -colored dream
Keepin' faith in things unseen
Battle of wills, chasin' dreams
On the roads to Nashville
I'm a sheer force of will
Knowing there's big shoes to fill
Chasing a rose -colored dream
Keeping faith in things unseen
Battle of wills, chasing thrills
On the roads to Nashville
On the roads to Nashville
