Starting Over

Chris Stapleton

Well the road rolls out like a welcome mat

To a better place than the one we’re at

And I ain’t got no kinda plan

But I’ve had all of this town I can stand

And I got friends out on the coast

We can jump in the water and see what floats

We’ve been saving for a rainy day

Let’s beat the storm and be on our way

It doesn’t matter to me

Wherever we are is where I wanna be

And, honey, for once in our life

Let’s take our chances and roll the dice

I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover

Starting over

This might not be an easy time

There’re rivers to cross and hills to climb

Some days we might fall apart

And some nights might feel cold and dark

When nobody wins afraid of losing

And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing

Some day we’ll look back and smile

And know it was worth every mile

It doesn’t matter to me

Wherever we are is where I wanna be

And, honey, for once in our life

Let’s take our chances and roll the dice

I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover

Starting over

Starting over

It doesn’t matter to me

Wherever we are is where I wanna be

And, honey, for once in our life

Let’s take our chances and roll the dice

I can be your lucky penny, you can be my four-leaf clover

Starting over

Starting over

Review

This is the opening and title track on Chris Stapleton’s fourth studio album, which taps into some hard truths and convictions that are laid bare in his songwriting. Stapleton opines about wanting to take his chances with his wife and start over. “Some day we’ll look back and smile and know it was worth every mile,” he sings.
