Intro
Hmm Mm.
Verse 1
I Was Headed Home On A Two-Lane Blacktop,
Rain Was Falling Hard And Fast,
Took A Turn Where The Pavement Ended,
Didn't Know I'd Left The Map.
Verse 2
My Phone Went Dark, My Headlights Faded,
Couldn't Tell North From South,
Then I Saw A Porch Light Glowing,
On An Old White Farmhouse.
Verse 3
An Old Man Opened Up The Door,
Like He'd Been Waiting There,
Said Come On In, Son, Dry Up A While,
And Pulled Up An Old Chair.
Verse 4
He Knew My Name, Knew Where I'd Been,
Knew Things I'd Never Said,
Said You Can Stop Running Now, My Son.
You Don't Have To Carry That Again.
Pre-Chorus
I Got Lost On A Road I Never Seen,
Found A Light Where There Wasn't Supposed To Be,
Found A Door When I Had Nowhere To Go,
Found A Peace That I Had Never Known.
Chorus
He Said Sometimes You Got To Lose Your Way,
To Find What You've Been Running For,
I Was Looking For My Way Back Home,
But That's Where I Found The Lord.
Interlude
Oh . . ..
Verse 5
He Pour Me Coffee In An Old Tin Cup,
And Watch The Rain Roll By,
Said, "You Spend Your Whole Life Chasing Roads,
But These Roads Won't Help Your Life."
Verse 6
Then He Pointed Toward A Bible,
Asked Me If I'd Read A Few,
He Said, "And I Would Give You A New Heart,
And A New Spirit I'll Put In You."
Verse 7
When The Morning Broke Through The Window,
He Pointed Down A Road,
Said, "Follow That Till You See The Highway,
And It'll Take You Back Home."
Verse 8
I Turned Around To Thinking,
But There Was Nobody There,
Just An Empty Chair Still Rocking
Sunlight On The Stairs.
Pre-Chorus
I Got Lost On A Road I Never Seen,
Found A Light Where There Wasn't Supposed To Be,
Found A Door When I Had Nowhere To Go,
Found A Peace That I Had Never Known.
Chorus
He Said Sometimes You Got To Lose Your Way,
To Find What You've Been Running For,
I Was Looking For My Way Back Home,
But That's Where I Found The Lord, Ooh Ooh Ooh,
I Did.
Instrumental
Verse 9
I Went Back There A Year Later,
Just To See That Old Man's Face,
Found That Same Old Farmhouse,
Still Standing In Its Place.
Verse 10
But The Windows Were All Broken,
And The Paint Was Weathered Gray,
I Asked A Farmer Who Lived Nearby,
Who Lives There Nowadays.
Verse 11
He Said, "Son, That Place Don't Belong,
To Anybody Here,
That House Been Sitting Empty,
For Many, Many Years.
Verse 12
And I Felt The Tears Start Falling
As I Finally Saw The Truth,
Thought I Was Lost And All Alone,
But God Was Looking For Me, Too.
Pre-Chorus
Oooh, I Got Lost On A Road I Never Seen, Yeah,
Found A Light Where There Wasn't Supposed To Be,
Found A Door When I Had Nowhere To Go,
Found A Peace That I Had Never Known.
Outro
Oooh, He Said Sometimes You Got To Lose Your Way,
To Find What You've Been Running For,
I Was Looking For My Way Back Home,
But That's Where I Found The Lord,
Yeah, That's Where I Found The Lord,
Mmmm, That's Where I Found The Lord, Oooh . . ..
