Travis has put out so many heart touching songs over the last few years,
and when I heard this song coming home from work one morning, I had to stop
and listen, I mean really listen, and to Travis, I must send a heartfelt
Thank You. This song has gotten me through some pretty tough times, and
helped me remember that I can't change my past, but I can do something about
the future. Thanks, again.

I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness,
D C
G D
To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul,
A

I kept dragging 'rounds those memories, like a ball and chain behind me,
D
C G D
Wonderin' why my troubles folloewd me wherever I would go,

Oh, but one night, sick and tired of bein' sick and tired,
D C G

I swear I heard those shackles snap, the moment that I took that path,

I never have one time looked back, since the morning I arose,
