Long Road Ahead

Say look-a here, mister, say look-a here, mister

I need a place to stay tonight, a hotel room is fine

Give me directions, I think I'll find my way alright

I'm only passing through, mister

There's a long road ahead

I got a lot to leave behind

That's the gospel truth, mister

There's a long road ahead

I'm gon' to leave it all, I'm gon' to leave it all

I'm gon' to leave it all behind me, yeah

It's been days, mister, since I've even had one bite to eat

Can't you spare me one thin crumb?

Lord, I walked for miles, I'd like to soothe these old tired feet

That's the gospel truth, mister

There's a long road ahead

I got a lot to leave behind

Baby, I'm comin' to you

There's a long road ahead

I'm gon' to leave it all, I'm gon' to leave it all

I'm gon' to leave it all behind me, yeah

I'm on the road to Nashville

I left my heart back there one day

I don't think love can wait

Just a few more days, I'll be standing by her side

I hope a car comes by today

Damn this lonesome road

There's a long road ahead

I got a lot to leave behind

That's the gospel truth, mister

There's a long road ahead

I'm gon' to leave it all, I'm gon' to leave it all

I'm gon' to leave it all behind me, yeah
