This Is My Journey

ABOUT THIS SONG

Every man reaches a point where he has to look back at the road behind him. This song is about that moment: standing at the end of a long journey, owning the selfish ways, the words left unsaid, and the struggle to make peace in your own mind.

It’s a love song, but not the easy kind. It’s about the person who stayed through all of it, who knew the truth when the world was telling lies. After traveling every road and highway looking for a story, he finds the answer was right beside him all along: the journey is the love.

Just a man, trying to understand.

LYRICS

I followed my life's beginning
You're here at the ending of a journey long
I hear the song of your heart that's bleeding
I have no tears and I've got no fear, you say I'm wrong

You tell me that I give a lot
But the selfish ways I give to you are for myself
The way I'm going, I can't survive
I struggle to make peace in my own mind

I am just a man
Trying to understand
Why they tell you lies and try to make you believe it
But baby, you know the truth

I've traveled through the lands of love
But never found my story
So the land of love is our road
And baby, it's a journey, this is my journey

I know you feel my desperation
I know the things they say just can't go away
I'm always lookin' for salvation
But the words I couldn't say are why I stay

I've been down every road and highway
Every mile like a weight upon my soul
Now I'm standing at the end of the day
Just a man still trying to find his way back home

I am just a man
Trying to understand
Why they tell you lies and try to make you believe it
But baby, you know the truth

I've traveled through the lands of love
But never found my story
So the land of love is our road
And baby, it's a journey, this is my journey

I am just a man
Trying to understand
So the land of love is our road
And baby, it's a journey

ABOUT "THIS IS MY JOURNEY"

"This Is My Journey" is an original country love song written and recorded by Chad Sanders, an independent country music artist and songwriter from Alabama.

Every man reaches a point where he has to look back at the road behind him. This song is about that moment: standing at the end of a long journey, owning the selfish ways, the words left unsaid, and the struggle to make peace in your own mind. It’s a love song, but not the easy kind. It’s about the person who stayed through all of it, who knew the truth when the world was telling lies. After traveling every road and highway looking for a story, he finds the answer was right beside him all along: the journey is the love. Just a man, trying to understand.

Fans of small-town country will find something real in this track, the kind of honest storytelling Chad Sanders is known for across his original catalog.

Chad Sanders writes and records from the perspective of someone rooted in North Alabama, North Alabama specifically, in the heart of Marshall County. His music reflects life as it actually is in small-town America, not as it's packaged for radio.

Released in September 2026, "This Is My Journey" is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music. Preview it here at ChadSandersOfficial.com before you stream.
