Longway To Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Midnight in a sleepy town,
Desperadoes shot the sheriff down in a blaze of fire
Turned the ground a crimson red,
Put a bullet through his head
And left him for dead
Every time I wake up,
A gun stares me down
And it's the life I've chosen
Spilling blood on the ground
My day's never done
I've got the lawmen on my trail,
Down to the wire
It's a long, long way
A long way to heaven
Such a long, long way
To your paradise
Just a boy inside a man,
Got a loaded six-gun in his hand
He said fire when ready
Took his aim, missed his mark
Shot the bullet in the dark
And he took down a child
It's a long, long way
Heaven's calling me
Calling me, calling my name
Well it's a long way down this dusty road
The storm clouds they lead me on to nowhere
And it's such a long, long way
A long, long way
Well it's the life I've chosen
My time has come
'Cause every time I wake up,
A gun stares me down, stares me down
