Misc Originals – Dallas Wells - The Narrow Road (Guitar)

G
I was raised where the blacktop ends

C
Front porch light and a couple good friends

G
Grandma’s Bible on a kitchen chair

D
Dust in the air and a whispered prayer

G
But I took off runnin’ toward city lights

C
Chasin’ money, women, Friday nights

G
Thought freedom meant doin’ what I pleased

D                G
Didn’t know sin had chains on me

C
Every mile just took me farther

G
From the man I used to know

C
Till I heard that quiet voice say

D
“Son, it’s time to come back home”

G
So I’m headin’ back to the narrow road

C
Where grace runs deep and the mercy flows

G
Where the cross still stands and the truth’s still true

D
And love don’t change just to fit me and you

G
Yeah, I’ve walked through fire, I’ve worn that load

C
But I ain’t too far for a saving soul

G
With every step, my heart’s been shown

D                 G
There’s life, real life, on the narrow road

G
I’ve seen the world try to change my mind

C
Sayin’ “Truth is yours and truth is mine”

G
But that road just left my heart confused

D
Chasin’ lies dressed up like truth

G
Now I’m learnin’ not to be shaped by

C
Every wind that blows on by

G
He’s renewin’ this heart and mind

D                 G
Leavin’ that old man behind

C
Yeah, the truth don’t bend with the seasons

G
It don’t sway when the culture blows

C
He’s changin’ me from the inside

D
Helpin’ me know His will and grow

G
So I’m headin’ back to the narrow road

C
Where grace runs deep and the mercy flows

G
Where the cross still stands and the truth’s still true

D
And love don’t change just to fit me and you

G
Yeah, I’ve walked through fire, I’ve worn that load

C
But I ain’t too far for a saving soul

G
With every step, my heart’s been shown

D                 G
There’s life, real life, on the narrow road

Em
No, it ain’t the wide gate, easy and fast

C
It’s layin’ down my future, my shame, my past

G
Right there where mercy met the cost

D
At the rugged cross where the lost get found

Em
I was drifting with this world’s design

C
Till He started changin’ this heart of mine

G
Now I’m walkin’ proof that grace can save

D
And make a dead man walk away

G
Now I’m walkin’ strong on the narrow road

C
Where grace runs deep and the mercy flows

G
Where the cross still stands and the truth’s still true

D
And His love’s the kind that makes all things new

G
Yeah, I’ve walked through fire, I’ve worn that load

C
But I ain’t too far for a saving soul

G
With every step, my heart’s been shown

D                 G
There’s hope, sure hope, on the narrow road

C
Thank God I wasn’t left alone

G
He changed this heart, He led me home

D                 G
Down that old, narrow road
