My Dark Ride by Greg Chaisson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m living a lie
I think I’m losing my mind
I’m out of control
My dreams are all tossed to the side
I can’t get a grip, oh what should I do
Lord, won’t you help me to the end
My dark ride, oh my dark ride

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m heavy with doubt
My life is locked in a cage
Can’t figure it out
I see the tears on her face
They’re on her pretty face
There’s no place to hide, I can’t take no more
Lord, won’t you help me end
My dark ride

[Chorus]
Takin’ the highway, the long way down
Roads so unending, truth can’t be found
Give me the courage to find my way home
Lord, won’t you help me to end
My dark ride
[Spoken]
I woke up out of a sound sleep
I looked over and my wife was lying there
But I could hear the voice
As clear as if someone was standing in the room
The voice said to believe in Him, and to pray
And not to judge all people by the few
Misguided ones I had been around lately
I was afraid but I fell back to sleep
The voice kept talking
Telling me things that I knew
But I’d been too confused to remember
When I awoke I felt like a new man
And my burden had finally been lifted

[Chorus]
Takin’ the highway, the long way down
Roads so unending, truth can’t be found
Give me the courage to find my way home
Lord, won’t you help me to end
My dark ride
