Lately I've been thinkin' 'bout
My past life on this road
The endless hours filled with doubt and confusion
I've walked many miles in a young man's shoes
I have traveled near and far
There's so many things in life I've yet to discover

It's been a long road, long road
That we're goin' down
Such a long road, long road
That we're goin' down
Gonna be a long road ahead

I walk a straight and narrow path
Sometimes it gets so hard
But to win I know I got to hold on tight and stay there
I keep my faith in the golden rule
I know I must not stray
For a sinners life is filled with cold retribution, yeah

It's been a long road, long road
That we're goin' down
It's been a long road, long road
That we're goin' down
Gonna be a long road ahead, oh yeah

Well, I've turned myself from the inside out
I've knocked on every door
It doesn't seem to matter how hard I try, yeah
Believe me when I say to you
That I can't take it anymore
I pick myself up and walk on out that door

It's been a long road, long road
That we're goin' down
Such a long road, long road
That we're goin' down
It's gonna be a long, long, long, long, long, long, road
Gonna be a long road ahead
