[Intro]

[Verse]

I've walked these backroads all alone,

Called a hundred places home.

Watched old dreams fade with the rain,

Picked myself up through the pain.

Every goodbye left a scar,

Every mile shaped my heart.

Though the nights were cold and long,

I kept believing I belonged.

[Pre-Chorus]

They say time can heal the soul,

If you don't let go of hope.

[Chorus]

I'm just a man tryin' to find my true love,

Prayin' to the good Lord up above.

Been knocked down more times than I can say,

But I still wake up and face the day.

I've crossed rivers, climbed mountains high,

Wiped more tears than this old heart can hide.

Every road I've traveled, every tear I've cried,

Is leading me to you... one mile at a time.

[Verse 2]

I've worn boots full of dust and doubt,

Wondered what this life's about.

Lost a few, held on too long,

Learned that broken can make you strong.

Now I don't chase what isn't real,

I just follow what I feel.

'Cause somewhere underneath these stars,

You're healing all these wounded parts.

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe every heart must break,

Before it finds the one worth waiting for.

[Chorus]

I'm just a man tryin' to find my true love,

Prayin' to the good Lord up above.

Been knocked down more times than I can say,

But I still wake up and face the day.

I've crossed rivers, climbed mountains high,

Wiped more tears than this old heart can hide.

Every road I've traveled, every tear I've cried,

Is leading me to you... one mile at a time.

[Bridge]

When that sunrise finally finds us,

I'll thank every storm behind us.

Every heartbreak had a reason,

Every winter brought a season.

If love was worth this winding road,

I'd walk it all again.

[Final Chorus]

I'm just a man who never stopped believing,

Even when this world gave me reasons to leave it.

Now I can almost see your smile,

Waiting just beyond another mile.

Every scar became a stepping stone,

Every lonely night brought me closer home.

My whole life's been pointing to this view...

Every road was leading me to you.So I'll keep these boots moving down the line,

With faith in my heart and hope in my mire out there, my forever waits,

And I know true love is worth the wait.
