Long Lonely Road

Pile into church pew rows

Gran made the best cheese rolls

Gospel stories told

'Bout the one way to save your soul

Drag out the old guitar

Gas up that old Ford car

And we gon' hit the dusty road

Four wheels can bear the load

It's been a long

It's been a long, long, long lonely road

Pops earned his bread in dust

But his hard working hands fed us

Sun up to sun sink down

His body worked to the ground

Folks thought we had it made

'Cause we always kept a face

Meanwhile there's bills to pay

And the stack growing everyday

It's been a long

Been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long lonely road

My my, my, it's been a long

Been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long lonely road

Soon as I turned 18

Packed up, the grass is green

New York or Tennessee

Where I am is where I'll be

Darling, tell me 'bout your plans

I'll find a place to land

Surely, there'll be a way

To move towards a brighter day

It's been a long

It's been a long, long, been a long, long, long, long lonely road

My, my, my, it's been a long

Been a long, long, been a long, long lonely road

My, my, my, it's been a long

Been a long, long, long lonely road

One person's path been paved

Been towards a path that's safe

These are the songs you sing

In search for the grass that's green

It's been a long

Been a long, long lonely road
