I’ve been travelin’ on this road too long (too long) Just tryna find my way back home (back home) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone And oh (eyyy) I’ve been travelin’ on this road too long (too long) Just tryna find my way back home (back home) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone Lyrics from Dead and Gone by T.I. photo credit: geishaboy500 We’ve all chosen different paths because of situations, opportunities, courage and fear.
