Story Behind The Song
My daughter had leukemia when she was 2 and contracted hepatitis C through blood transfusions that kept her alive. She just finished a two year chemotherapy program. My wife just had her colon removed and is still in recovery and rehab from spending most of the spring in the hospital. We have had special friends during these times that have gotten us through it with God's help.

Lyrics
chorus:
I'm in for the long haul, baby.
And I'm stupid just to think I know
Just how far
That I'm supposed to go.
Sometimes it's like a tall wall, baby.
And if we don't give up
We might learn something God has filled our cup with.
Runnin' over my hands with.
Overflowing.
Sorry, no drive through.
Line backs up the turnpike.
Find a radio station, watch the rain.
In every chapter,
A strong and gentle laughter
Can pull us through the heartbreak and the pain. (chorus)
Sorry, I hurt you.
But I will not desert you.
So dry those eyes and hear what I have to say.
The road I'm finding,
is long and winding.
But with God's help we're sure to find the way. (Chorus)
