Lyrics

I set out on a nar row way man y years a go

hop ing I would find true love a long the bro ken road.

But I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow and kept push in’ through.

I could n’t see how ev er y sign point ed straight to you.

But ev er y long lost dream

led me to where you are.

Oth ers who broke my heart,

they were like north ern stars

point ing me on my way

in to your lov ing arms.

This much I know is true:

that God blessed the bro ken road that led me straight to you.

Now I’m just a roll in’ home

in to my lov er’s arms.

This much I know is true:

that God blessed the bro ken road that led me straight to you.
