Lyrics

There was a knock at my door
You were looking for a bed or a floor
Dirty shirt and worn-out boots
Get cleaned up and have a cup of soup

It’s been cloudy all day
But that ain’t the same as looking like rain
Cuz even dry firewood
Needs a season til it burns good

You were carrying a heavy load
Up and down
An Unlit Road
Up and down
An Unlit Road

I don’t know where you’ve been
But tonight there’s no judgment
I see those bags under your eyes
Maybe in time they’ll turn wise

Wash your face and let’s break bread
This whole world’s gone to our head
Is that a cut or a scar
You don’t need luck to wish on a star

You were carrying a heavy load
Up and down
An Unlit Road
Up and down
An Unlit Road

You were carrying a heavy load
Up and down
An Unlit Road
Up and down
An Unlit Road
