[Verse 1]
I've been shattered and broken, for most of my life
But I've done pretty good, with a job and a wife
Got a family that loves me, and a good piece of land
That I bought with hard work, that I earned with these hands

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well these things that I do
I did them for you

[Chorus]
So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay
And you'll watch over this house, while I go away
And just promise to be here, when I get back home
So we can start where we left off, all those years ago
Before my demons... they took control
Lost and lonely, out here on the road

[Verse 2]
'Cause I've been careless and selfish, got no self respect
I'm an albatross hanging around my own neck
I'm a hard one to handle, and I've played the fool
And I'm so hard to love, cause I break all the rules

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well these things that I do
'Cause I couldn't have you
[Chorus]
So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay
And you'll watch over this house, while I go away
And just promise to be here, when I get back home
So we can start where we left off, all those years ago
Before my demons... they took control
Lost and lonely, out here on the road

[Chorus]
So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay
And you'll watch over this house, while I go away
And just promise to be here, when I get back home
So we can start where we left off, all those years ago
Before my demons... they took control
Lost and lonely, out here on the road

[Outro]
Lost and lonely, out here on the road
