[Verse 1]
I made up my mind a long time ago
That I'd travel this whole world alone
Been to cities, been to towns and back
Been on gravel roads and railroad tracks
[Verse 2]
Now they say this life’s not for the weak
So I thicken my skin and move to Tennessee
It's a dark and never-ending ride
But I pray to God almost every night
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oooh
[Verse 3]
Now I hold my dreams like a stone on fire
I keep them lit but raise them highеr
’Cause my hands will burn if it gets too close
It's a hеavy burden, but it's one I chose
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
[Bridge]
And I will run through the field and flames
And I will fall down, get up back again
'Cause I know it's in my heart to prove it
Unleashed but not uprooted, 'til I come back to you
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
[Outro]
’Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
Oh I hate that part
I made up my mind a long time ago
That I'd travel this whole world alone
Been to cities, been to towns and back
Been on gravel roads and railroad tracks
[Verse 2]
Now they say this life’s not for the weak
So I thicken my skin and move to Tennessee
It's a dark and never-ending ride
But I pray to God almost every night
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
But I miss my home, my father, and my mother
The love of my brother, for all that they are
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oooh
[Verse 3]
Now I hold my dreams like a stone on fire

(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
Oh I hate that part
(Oooh)
[Outro]
’Cause I was born to roam this earth
To finish what I started with this song in my heart
Oh I hate that part
