Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a long, hard road ahead
But a voice inside me said
[Verse 2]
You know there's something wrong that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
Said there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
[Verse 3]
When in this life, in this life
When I can only turn my chin
I know it's gonna be alright
When this big old town is closin' in
And I have lost again, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
Here I could stay but I'll keep movin' on
Here I could stay but I'll keep movin' on
Could be I won't be wrong
[Verse 5]
There's a long hard road ahead
But a voice inside me said
[Verse 6]
Said there's something, oh, that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
Said there's something that you need to know
It's gonna be alright
