Lyrics
RIGHTEOUS PATH
Words & music by Mark Miller
I’ve been down & troubled
I been on that path before
Loneliness I’m finding
Learns me more than I could have known
Beneath the tides of the ocean
As tender as it is cold
The bullet missed my heart
But w/o a doubt, it struck my soul
The righteous path ain’t easy
The wages owed eventually are taken
But you find yourself in
Much better shape than before
Seething with your anger
only leads to more regret
listen to me, my brothers
hate only breeds more day to day
Beneath the tides of the ocean
As tender as it is cold
The bullet missed my heart
Sure as hell, it struck my soul
The righteous path ain’t easy
The wages owed eventually are taken
But you find yourself in
Much better shape than before
you never know the shape of things to come
keeping positive can easily be undone
in the mind, thoughts are misleading
honest day's pay more than honest wages
The righteous path ain’t easy
The wages owed eventually are taken
But you find yourself in
Much better shape than before
