I could be right or I could be real
I could be burned or just tempered steel
I followed my pride right into the rain
But I couldn't outrun the blood in my veins

'Cause every tear I've ever known
Turned out to be a stepping stone

Anywhere I'm going takes everywhere I've been
I've done a lot of living, I wouldn't care to do again
I wouldn't change a mile I swear of the road that'll get me there
Anywhere I'm going

Thought I was alive only when it hurt
And it took that ride to the edge of the earth
I thought I was strong, I thought I was tough
I took just a little and I called it enough

I could stand here and complain
Or make a path of the pain

Anywhere I'm going takes everywhere I've been
I've done a lot of living, I wouldn't care to do again
I wouldn't change a mile I swear of the road that'll get me there
Anywhere I'm going

Anywhere I'm going takes everywhere I've been
I've done a lot of living, I wouldn't care to do again
I wouldn't change a mile I swear of the road that'll get me there
Anywhere I'm going, anywhere I'm going
