I've been shattered and broken for most of my life But I've done pretty good with a job and a wife Got a family that loves me and a good piece of land That I bought with hard work, that I earned with these hands But these things that I do I did them for you So just tell me you love me and tell me you'll stay And you'll watch over this house while I go away And just promise to be here when I get back home So we can start where we left off all those years ago Before my demons, well they took control Lost and lonely, out here on the road ♪ 'Cause I've been careless and selfish Got no self-respect I'm an albatross hangin' around my own neck I'm a hard one to handle and I've played the fool And I'm so hard to love 'cause I break all the rules But these things that I do 'Cause I couldn't have you So just tell me you love me and tell me you'll stay And you'll watch over this house while I go away And just promise to be here when I get back home So we can start where we left off all those years ago Before my demons, well they took control Lost and lonely out here on the road ♪ So just tell me you love me and tell me you'll stay And you'll watch over this house while I go away And just promise to be here when I get back home So we can start where we left off all those years ago Before my demons, well they took control Lost and lonely out here on the road Lost and lonely out here on the road
