Dirt Road - Take It from Me Lyrics

She was ten years old with a bag in her hand
Escorted to the back of a mini-van
To take her away
Still has the scars on her face
But, time flies and its 13 years today
Loving wife with a baby on the way
Ain't life grand. Found the love of a good man
But she's still holding the bags from all those years
Pain in her eyes as she fights back the tears
Hard leaving the hurt of that place
Until she saw the face of amazing grace
And said

Take it from me
I can't do it on my own
Take it from me
God I'm tired of fighting alone
So come and show me
How to lay it down
And I'll lay it down
So you can take it from me

Broken stool at the end of the bar
Drowning dreams in the bottom of a mason jar
Full of regrets
His life's a (Ah) mess
Last call means one for the road
This path is all he's ever known
Tracing those steps
Wishing they would lead somewhere else
But he's walking with pain that won't leave him alone
And for the life of him he just can't let it go
He doesn't have the strength to forget
He takes one more sip and then he loosens his grip
And says

Take it from me
I can't do it on my own
Take it from me
God I'm tired of fighting alone
So come and show me
How to lay it down
And I'll lay it down
So you can take it from me

He traded that bottle for the Bible
And that whiskey for revival
And she gave her heart to him again
And in that childhood home once broken
Love's flowing like an ocean
Like an ocean
It began when they let Jesus in
Laid it all down for Him
It's the day that they prayed
And they heard Jesus say

Take it from Me
You've never been alone
Take it from Me
I've been trying to lead you home
So you could see
The peace you've finally found
When you laid it down
Just take it from me
