Long Lonely Road Lyrics
Pile in the church pew rows
Gran made the best yeast rolls
Gospel of stories told
Bout the one way to save your soul
Drag out the old guitar
Gas up that old ford car
We're gonna hit the dusty road
4 wheels can barely load
it's been a long, it's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, lonely roadpops made his work in dust
but his hard-working hands fed us
sun up 'til sun sank 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 every dayit'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, long, long, lonely roadsoon as I turned 18
I packed up the grass is green
New York or Tennessee
Where I am is where I'll be
God tell me about your plans
And I'll find a place to land
Surely there'd be a way
To move towards a brighter dayit'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, long, long, lonely roadone person's path unpaid
went towards the path that saved
these are the songs you sing
in the search for the grass that's greenit's been a long, been a long, long, long, lonely road
