[Verse 1]
Traveled up and down these roads
Had to adventure out and become a man
Started in a familiar place
But ended up in a foreign land
But as the story usually goes
Nothing quite went as planned

[Chorus]
He was on an endless road, feeling like a king
Even after the initial bite, the wound still did sting
It's not an easy thing to deal with, even for the toughest man
It was already over before it began
It was already over before it began

[Verse 2]
The same strut was in his walk
The same fire was in his eye
Before his child was even born
He'd already said his goodbyes

[Chorus]
He was on an endless road, feeling like a king
Even after the initial bite, the wound still did sting
It's not an easy thing to deal with, even for the toughest man
It was already over before it began
It was already over before it began
