Long Lonely Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pile in the church pew rows Gran made the best yeast rolls Gospel stories told About 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 Four wheels can bear the load [Chorus] It's been a long It's been a long, long, long, long, long lonely road [Verse 2] Pops earned his bread in dust But his hard-working hands fed us Sun up till 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 day [Chorus] 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, long, long, lonely road [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Soon as I turned eighteen I packed up, the grass is green New York or Tennessee Where I am is where I'll be Darling, tell me about your plans And I find a place of mine Surely there'll be a way To move towards a brighter day [Chorus] 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, long, long, lonely road My, my, my, it's been a long Been a long, long, long Long, long, lonely road [Verse 4] One person's path unpaid Went towards the path that saved These are the songs you sing In the search for the grass that's green [Chorus] It's been a long Been a long, long, long, lonely road
