Lord, Yes I Did

लिरिक्स

[Intro] Yeah—tell it straight. Long road, hard miles. [Verse 1] Dust on my cuffs, red clay on my shoes, One hand on the wheel, one eye on the news. Bills in a stack, but I still showed up, Cold coffee, dawn broke, I filled that cup. No silver spoon, no easy lane, Took every hard turn, learned from the pain. Folks said, “Kid, you’re gonna fold someday,” I kept my word and I kept my way. [Pre-Chorus] If they ask that kid if he felt blessed, Let him look back at the miles he pressed. [Chorus] Lord, yes I did—every breath, every mile, Every rough day turned into a reason to smile. Ran that road till the long climb was through, Now I sit, look back, say, “Yeah, I did that too.” Lord, yes I did—when the road got steep, Kept one promise I was strong enough to keep. If they ask that kid what he carried inside, He can replay the truth: Lord, yes, I did. [Verse 2] Fast feet, full heart, got a clock to outrun, Learned more from the losses than the wins I won. Had a friend in my corner when the plans went thin, Had to start from the bottom, had to build again. No tall tale, no polish, no borrowed shine, Just the miles I remember and the scars that are mine. When the last load cleared and the phone quit ringing, I heard my own laugh—whole room singing. [Pre-Chorus] If they ask that kid if he felt blessed, Let him look back at the miles he pressed. [Chorus] Lord, yes I did—every breath, every mile, Every rough day turned into a reason to smile. Ran that road till the long climb was through, Now I sit, look back, say, “Yeah, I did that too.” Lord, yes I did—when the road got steep, Kept one promise I was strong enough to keep. If they ask that kid what he carried inside, He can replay the truth: Lord, yes, I did. [Bridge] Not perfect, not fearless, just still in the race, A little more weather in a hard-earned face. I gave what I had; I stood when I could. I’d run it again—every mile, every bruise. [Final Chorus] Lord, yes I did—every breath, every mile, Every rough day turned into a reason to smile. Ran that road till the long climb was through, Now I sit, look back, say, “Yeah, I did that too.” Lord, yes I did—hear the whole room reply, I kept on moving, and I know why. If they ask that kid what he carried inside, He can replay the truth: Lord, yes, I did. [Outro] Yeah, I did that. Long road. Clear eyes. Lord, yes I did.
