Price of Glory

Yeah… They see the lights.

They see the name.

They never see the price.

Cold nights, empty pockets,

dreams inside my head Momma paid the bills while I wrote songs

instead Everybody said, “Be realistic,

know your place” So I turned every doubt into fuel and kept

my pace Friends came and went,

some stayed, some disappeared I learned who was real when the road

got hard and steep I missed calls,

missed moments chasing something I believed Now I know some things you

lose you never get back again

What it cost me… Nobody knows what it cost me I gave

up nights, I gave up time Left pieces of my heart along

the line What it cost me…

You only see the man I became Every scar,

every tear, every road I took Still remembers my name

Money can’t buy back the moments that I missed A trophy can’t

replace somebody’s hand to hold like this Now I count real friends

instead of counting what I own ’Cause the biggest house means nothing

if you feel alone I made mistakes,

but I won’t hide from the past Every wrong turn taught me

something that could last I chased the crown,

thought it would make me complete Then I learned the greatest wins

are the people that you keep

If I could go back,

would I choose the same road?

Would I chase the dream if I knew what I’d lose?

Maybe I would…

Maybe I wouldn’t…

But I’m still here.

What it cost me… Now you know what it cost me

Every loss, every lesson,

every sacrifice Made me who I am What it cost me… I

can’t change yesterday

But I can hold the ones I love And never let them

slip away

They see the crown.

I remember the climb.

What it cost me.
