Carrie Cunningham - Road By Road

I was a child with visions, cursed and convicted no one could understand
They took me to the river, in a trial by water, bound my feet and hands
I can still feel myself sinking to the bottom like a heavy stone
That was just one trip I remember for my old soul
Just before dawn, I could see their shadows outside my teepee
There was fire everywhere, smoke filled the air, and all I heard were screams
I can still feel the horses' thunder on the ground as I tried to run
Took an arrow to the heart in the burning field, but I'm still not done
Life by life road by road
'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
Each time I return there's something to learn
So I'll take it slow
Life by life road by road
My West Virginia lady was crying on my shoulder begging me not to go
My blue coat and a musket strapped around my chest, I could hear the bugle blow
There were bodies everywhere when I reached the battle of Gettysburg
As I laid on the ground, rain washed me clean and I left this earth
Life by life road by road
'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
Each time I return there's something to learn
So I'll take it slow
Life by life road by road
Life by life road by road
'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
Each time I return there's something to learn
So I'll take it slow
Life by life road by road
Oooh
Life by Life
Road by Road
