I travel this road I’m on  

I needed to travel it away from here 

I just needed get away from here 


I had to go because of him 

He hurt me to bad to stay  

So I left everything behind

Told him I’d be in Austin if he wanted to apologize 

He tried to stop me before I went on my way

He said he loved me and he’d come back for me some day

But I 


Travel this road I’m on 

To stay away 

Yeah I travel this road I’m on cause I needed to get away

I travel this road I’m on cause I’m so afraid 

Yeah the road I’m on keeps me away

Yeah I travel this road I’m on

To stay away


It was a few years before he tried again 

He said the same he did before I left him

But next time he’ll get 3 rings and an anwerin machine and this what he’ll get  

If you’re callin bout my heart it’s not yours

You should have treated me right a little more and it would have taken me longer 

To know where I belong 


Cause now I travel this road I’m on 

To stay away

Yeah I travel this road I’m on cause I needed to get away

I travel this road I’m on cause I’m so afraid 

Yeah the road I’m on keeps me away

Yeah I travel this road I’m on

To stay away


Yeah I travel this road I’m on

I love country music so I tried to make a country ballad. I love to sing so I do have music to this. This ballad was orginally made for a language arts assignment and my teacher suggested that I submit it to this website.
