Don Williams — Stronger Back

I had ev'rything, lost it all I built towers of gold, watched em fall I tried my best But I guess my best just wasn't good enough I made promises. Broke em I've laid loved ones lives wide open And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far And I ain't givin up I pray for a stronger back I pray for a bigger heart I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back I've seen losers get a second chance I've seen miracles from happenstance I've seen long shots come from way behind To win the race And I've dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope And it's dark right now but I know somehow Some day the sun will find some way to shine down on my face I pray for a stronger back I pray for a bigger heart I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back
