Lyrics

Let me tell you a story
’Bout havin’ your back to the wall
I can tell you from experience
You gotta pick yourself up when you fall

Well I got myself right up on that highway
Destination Nashville Tennessee
Now that my life’s turned a corner
There’s no looking back for me

I’ve seen and faced some dark skies
I’ve paid a price, or two
You can spend your life dancin’ with the devil
All depends which road you wanna choose

Well I got myself right up on that highway
Destination Nashville Tennessee
Now that my life’s turned a corner
There’s no looking back for me

When I thought my world was crashing all around me
And those fair weather friends just walked away
When I thought I’d never see another sunny smile
I remembered what I’d heard my daddy say
“Don’t forget,” he said, “when things start looking hopeless
When it looks like there’s nowhere left to turn
And all you want to do is just walk away
Don’t forget that’s just the dark before the day.”

Now there’s a happy ending to my story
Thanks to my daddy for the wisdom of his years
He said, “It’s all about facing life with courage boy
And not running away from your fears.”

Now here I am right back up on that highway
Destination Nashville Tennessee
Now that my life’s turned a corner
There’s no looking back for me
Now that my life’s turned a corner there’s no looking back for me
Now that my life’s turned a corner there’s no looking back for me
