The Route That I Took

I've traveled millions of miles
Hung with good and bad crowds
Been on top and went down low too
Paid off some long overdues
Held the king and bad news
And I've been lonesome a time or two

I've been lost in the whiskey
Did some running on empty
I've lived hard, it's all in the book
But the lines on my face
Ain't the miles that you see
Well, it's just the route that I took

Change some things if I could
I just don't know if I would
My roots, have been rough and smooth
Remember where I came from
Just not all that I've gone
It's not much I haven't lived through

I've been lost in the whiskey
Did some running on empty
I've lived hard, it's all in the book
But the lines on my face
Ain't the miles that you see
Well, it's just the route that I took
Well, it's just the route that I took
Oh yeah, yeah
