Stronger Back - Don Williams

I had everything, lost it all

I built ties of gold, an' watched em' fall

I tried my best but I guess my best

Just wasn’t good enough

I made promises and broke em'

I’ve laid loved ones lives wide open

And I’ve got a broken heart

But I’ve come this far

And I ain’t givin' up I pray for a stronger back

I pray for a bigger heart

I pray for the will to keep on walking

When the way is dark

I follow that winding road

Just try to stay on track

I don’t pray for a lighter load

I pray for a stronger back

I’ve seen losers get a second chance

I’ve seen miracles and happenstance

I’ve seen long shots come from way behind

To win the race

And I’ve had dreams blow up In a cloud of smoke

It’s a world of pain

It’s a world of hope

And It’s dark right now

But I know somehow

Some day the sun will find a way

To shine down on my face

I pray for a stronger back

I pray for a bigger heart

I pray for the will to keep on walking

When the way is dark

I follow that winding road

Just try to stay on track

I don’t pray for a lighter load

I pray for a stronger back

I follow that winding road

Just try to stay on track

I don’t pray for a lighter load

I pray for a stronger back
