With My Own Heart for Company

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m walking alone on the road And I don’t even fear ’Cause I know it’s born in me That voice I couldn’t hear Dust climbs up my trouser cuffs The fields lean into gray I keep my hands inside my coat And take the longer way [Pre-Chorus] Every mile I leave behind Makes room for what I know [Chorus] I’m not turning back tonight I’ve got enough to carry me One foot down, one breath at a time The dark can’t tell me where to be I’m walking on, I’m walking on With my own heart for company [Verse 2] A truck rolls past, its windows lit Then vanishes downhill A paper map bends in my pocket But I know the road by feel The rain starts tapping on my sleeves The cold comes through the seams Still there’s a place ahead of me That’s wider than my dreams [Pre-Chorus] Every mile I leave behind Makes room for what I know [Chorus] I’m not turning back tonight I’ve got enough to carry me One foot down, one breath at a time The dark can’t tell me where to be I’m walking on, I’m walking on With my own heart for company [Bridge] If the road bends, I’ll bend with it If the wind rises, let it rise I have lost a few good reasons I have kept the will to try [Final Chorus] I’m not turning back tonight I’ve got enough to carry me One foot down, one breath at a time The dark can’t tell me where to be I’m walking on, I’m walking on There’s a whole wide world ahead of me [Outro] Alone, but not afraid Alone, but on my way
