This is the title cut for the new CD coming out in February 2006. This song was written a while ago, but it's never really come together the way I envisioned. The night before going into the studio to record the song, I had an epiphany in terms of how the song should sound. We tried it and it worked! So much, that we decided it would be the title of the CD. And afterall, getting this CD completed, has been a long, hard road. -Kelly

It's a hard road to travel
Heavy load to haul
But I've already come this far
And I think I can make it
A little further down the road
But I'm gonna have to lighten my load

Well I'm just looking for some answers
And you've been weighing heavy on my mind
And I'm so tired of always taking chances
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces of my shattered dreams and move on down that line

I have worn many faces
These eyes have seen it all
Many times I have taken the fall
But I brushed off my heartaches
And I bandaged up my soul
Life takes its toll........oh

And I'm so tired of taking chances
You've been weighing heavy on my mind
And I'm so tired of always taking chances
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces of my shattered dreams and move on down that line
Gonna move on down that line
It's a hard, hard, hard, hard road
It's a hard, hard road.....yeah
