Courage for the Road - Greensky Bluegrass

It’s proven hard to let go

I didn’t think it’d be different you know

But I want all that’s left

Before you take a breath

A little bit of courage for the road

Being tied to you

I guess it gives me something to get thru

But then when you’re empty

There’s nothing left for me

And it’s the same ending we return to

But this way we go leads nowhere

This time is different, that’s what you always swear

Without you around maybe I can change

And if my mind felt clear, maybe I’d be saved

Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed

I need a little courage for the road

How can I know what to feel

You leave to ignoring what is real

It’s such a subtle difference

Between the fool and fearless

Trade again and left it here

But this way we go leads nowhere

This time is different, that’s what you always swear

Without you around maybe I can change

If my mind felt clear, maybe I’d be saved

Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed

I need a little courage for the road

I need a little courage for the road

Courage for the road

The moment lies like a kiss

It leaves me faulted and under-prepared

To deal with what comes next, the shame and emptiness

Knowing better but choosing to fail

But this way we go leads nowhere

This time is different, that’s what you always swear

All these faults, these mistakes are mine to bear

Without you around maybe I can change

And if my mind felt clear, maybe I’d be saved

Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed

Too broken from this and unable to dismiss

I need a little courage for the road
