Hard Road to Home Lyrics

Nothing stands before m,
nothing to leave behind
The sun cracks my skin,
the glare leaves me blind
Another desperate man, in this desolate land
All that lies ahead, is endless miles of sand

The path I choose, the road I walk
The only way to go, when you risk it all
Glimmer of gold, never lasts
It's just a mirage and it fades from you grasp

Hard road to home
No stars left to guide me,
I'm out on my own
As I walk alone
Just my six gun here beside me,
and an aching in my bones

They promised riches, they promised destiny
Like a fool I believed them, see what
became of me
There's no El Dorado,
no gold at rainbow's end
Just a wasteland to inherit,
where death comes as a friend

Glimmer of gold, never lasts
It's just a mirage and it fades from you grasp

Hard road to home
No stars left to guide me,
I'm out on my own
As I walk alone
Just my six gun here beside me,
and an aching in my bones
Hard road to home
The vultures circle overhead and the sun
keeps beating down
As I walk alone
Don't think I'm gonna make it,
but still I'm traveling on

The blazing sun's just another
vein of gold I'll never hold
As I wait for the desert rain to close my eyes
and take me home

Hard road to home
No stars left to guide me,
I'm out on my own
As I walk alone
Just my six gun here beside me,
and an aching in my bones
Hard road to home
The vultures circle overhead and the sun
keeps beating down
As I walk alone
Don't think I'm gonna make it,
but still I'm traveling on
