That Long Road

(Key: G Major)
(Tempo: Slow and steady, heartfelt)

[Verse 1]

G
Left my footprints in the broken clay,
D
Chased some dreams that slipped away,
Em
Fought some battles I didn’t win,
C
Carried some weight under my skin.

[Verse 2]

G
Lines on my face, stories untold,
D
Lessons worth more than a pot of gold,
Em
Worn out boots, but a fire inside,
C
Still walkin’ down that long, long ride.

[Chorus]

C G
That long road, it knows my name,
D Em
Carved my heart, carved my pain,
C G
Every mile, every load,
D C G
I was made for that long road.

[Verse 3]

G
Friends I lost and friends I found,
D
Songs that rose and dreams that drowned,
Em
Sun beat down and the cold winds blowed,
C
But I kept on walkin’ that long road.

[Chorus]

C G
That long road, it knows my name,
D Em
Carved my heart, carved my pain,
C G
Every mile, every load,
D C G
I was made for that long road.

[Bridge]

Em C
It ain't the speed, it ain't the race,
G D
It’s every sunrise on my face,
Em C
Every scar I wear with pride,
Am D
It’s the proof I’m still alive.

[Final Chorus]

C G
That long road, it knows my name,
D Em
Carved my heart, carved my pain,
C G
Every mile, every load,
D C G
I was made for that long road.

[Outro]

D C G
Yeah, made for that long road.

🎸 Musical Feel:
Warm acoustic strums, light electric guitar lines weaving around it.
Drums slow and deep, like a heartbeat.
Vocals rich, strong, emotional — worn but proud.
