Not Afraid

Verse 1

Gravel crunchin under my boots at dawn

Barn door swingin in the morning wind

Coffee steam risin off the windowsill

Daddy's old truck sittin rusty in the yard

I packed my whole life in a duffel bag

Three shirts and a photograph of home

Headed down the highway with the radio loud

Got a long way to go and I'm headed alone

Pre-Chorus

They say the world out there will chew you up

They say you gotta watch your back at every turn

But I ain't bought a ticket for their fear

I got a different lesson I had to learn

Chorus

I'm not afraid of the dark road winding

Not afraid of the thunder rollin in

Not afraid to say I made the wrong turn

Not afraid to start all over again

Post-Chorus

No no not afraid

Not afraid today

Verse 2

Grandma's Bible sittin on the dash

Page turned down at the twenty-third psalm

She said sorrow comes like rain and goes

You hold the umbrella or you sing along

I met a stranger at a gas pump

He looked at me like he knew my name

Said son you carry lightning in your chest

Let it strike or let it stay the same

Pre-Chorus

They say this town will drag you down for good

They say you'll never find your way to leave

But I've been countin stars since I was young

And I believe what I believe

Chorus

I'm not afraid of the dark road winding

Not afraid of the thunder rollin in

Not afraid to say I made the wrong turn

Not afraid to start all over again

Post-Chorus

No no not afraid

Not afraid today

Bridge

Maybe fear is just a shadow

And shadows need the light to live

So I'll walk right through the middle

Got a little more love to give

Chorus

I'm not afraid of the dark road winding

Not afraid of the thunder rollin in

Not afraid to say I made the wrong turn

Not afraid to start all over again

Post-Chorus

No no not afraid

Not afraid today

No no not afraid

Not afraid today
