this far

Lyrics

oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, how i got this far, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, how i got this far, now how in the world did i get this far, down a road this dark, body feelin' this scarred, i'm still confused, as many times i've been bruised, abused with the blue so i choose to snooze, been abused with the rear view of what it reflects, complex as the watts and the muddy flex, on my windshield and my windows sealed, why the clouds still wild at midnight, it's 'bout ten 'til for real i fulfill the thrill that i need, until i get to the top of my speed, i missed that point in my life quite yet, look down at my feet let me hear it get wet, come up out the woods with many miles on my tires, in the middle of the fire my desires wired, to acquire a little higher before i retire, when i fly why i try so hard to use, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, i want to know why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, i don't know how i got this far, it's been a long time and i've come so far, try to stay in line while i'm sippin' the bar, i can't help but sit down and ask myself, why i try so hard when there's nothing left, i used to say maybe tomorrow i could change, but after five years only i'm to blame, it seems now that everything's the same, and i've been treatin' life like it was a game, but i know, all i gotta do is try, stop livin' in the past and wondering why, but i tell ya it's a lot easier said than done, and livin' this way ain't fun, some say it can only go up from here, that it can't get worse but i still feel fear, not knowing what lies in the road ahead, will i see tomorrow, will i end up dead, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, i want to know why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, i don't know how i got this far, you know i try so hard but i can't help but feel, that my life is paused and it's standin' still, but i gotta keep movin' on the road is so long, and i find out where it is that i belong, yeah i know it's true but it's odd sometimes, when you seein' everything that the world is blind, and i always need a place in my life that starts, but i can never outrun the clock and tick-tocks, then the days roll by but i hardly know, you know, how far this road i'm goin' on will go, but my hand is gripped on the wheel so tight, so the sun was bright but now it's dark tonight, another day gone put it in the books and holdin' on, keep your grip strong holdin' on so long, i know it's all for a reason but still i ask why, with a life this hard why do i try, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, i want to know why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, i don't know how i got this far, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, i want to know why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, but i don't know how i got this far, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, how i got this far, oh, i want to know tonight, i want to know, why i try so hard, oh, i'm on this road tonight, but i don't know, how i got this far
