NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND - The Broken Road lyrics

rate me

The Broken Road

I set out on the narrow way

Many years ago,

Hoping I would find true love

Along the broken road.

I got lost a time or two,

Wiped my brow, kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you.

Every long-lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were just NORTHERN stars,

Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms.

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent

I'd like to find the time I lost and give it back to you.

You just smile and take my hand; you've been there, you understand,

It's all part of a greater plan that is coming true.

Every longlost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were just falling stars,

Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms.

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
