lyrics

Seems like yesterday I was twenty-five
Thundering down River Road, glad to be alive
Lived my '20s like a bullet from an outlaw's gun
The grave and the devil you can never outrun

I've got my demons, I've got my demons
I've got my demons, demons chasing me
I've got my demons, I've got my demons
I've got my demons, they won't let me be

Woke to grey in my beard & red in my eyes
Ain't it funny how fast the years slip by
Too old to die young, too young to feel old
A black heart inside a cage of bone

I've got my demons, I've got my demons
I've got my demons, demons chasing me
I've got my demons, I've got my demons
I've got my demons, they won't let me be

The cross I bear is the cross I bear
The cross I bear is the cross I bear
The cross I bear is the cross I bear
It's heavy but it's lighter than a crown of thorns
It's heavy but it's lighter than a crown of thorns

I'm closer to the end than a week ago
The hands of time will free my soul
Never believed in God until I met his Son
I'm goin' back to the dirt from where I come

I've got my demons, I've got my demons
I've got my demons, demons chasing me
I've got my demons, I've got my demons
I've got my demons, they won't let me be

The cross I bear is the cross I bear
The cross I bear is the cross I bear
The cross I bear is the cross I bear
It's heavy but it's lighter than a crown of thorns
It's heavy but it's lighter than a crown of thorns

Seems like yesterday I was twenty-five
Thundering down River Road, glad to be alive
Lived my '20s like a bullet from an outlaw's gun
The grave and the devil you can never outrun X3

Todd Sterling Olds, Alberta

With his 2014 debut Road Songs, singer-songwriter Todd Sterling showcased the honky tonk side of his personality.

Fast forward to 2020. Sterling digs even deeper in the creative dirt for Dark Horses: The Acoustic Sessions. A sparse collection – one guitar/one voice. ... more
