The Road I Traveled

Verse 1

Mama kept the lights on with her two hands

I was counting quarters on the kitchen tile

Now I'm standing somewhere that I used to dream about

And I ain't too proud to stop and cry a while

Pre-Chorus

So much running

So much holding on

I forgot to look around

Chorus

Take a moment celebrate

Everything you carried here

Take a moment celebrate

Every scar and every year

You were never lost

You were learning how to steer

So take a moment celebrate

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, celebrate

Oh-oh, celebrate

Verse 2

I remember bus rides freezing to the bone

Saving up for something I could barely name

Every closed door taught me how to knock again

Now I see the whole map when I say my name

Pre-Chorus

So much silence

So much holding on

But I finally look around

Chorus

Take a moment celebrate

Everything you carried here

Take a moment celebrate

Every scar and every year

You were never lost

You were learning how to steer

So take a moment celebrate

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, celebrate

Oh-oh, celebrate

Bridge

Don't you dare forget the road

The long and lonely road

The ones who called you home

The ones who let you go

Stand up in your story

Say it out loud

Chorus

Take a moment celebrate

Everything you carried here

Take a moment celebrate

Every scar and every year

You were never lost

You were learning how to steer

So take a moment celebrate

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, celebrate

Oh-oh, celebrate

Outro

Take a moment

Take a moment

Celebrate
