The Long Road

Everybody wants to hear about if you got lost

Or if you broke down

I was treading my way through the tall grass

Trying to find a reason to be there

I don't know much, but I know that things will never change

If you keep doing the same things the same way

You've got to slow down and let your focus drift

You've gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta

You gotta, stick out your neck just to get over the line

You gotta fall in love with the long road

She pours coffee direct into her bloodstream

It's poisoning your patience honey

Get something else to keep you on your feet

I don't dream much, but lately I've been dreaming more

You won't believe the things I saw

You've got to slow down and let your focus drift

You've gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta

You gotta, sift through the water to get to the wine

You gotta fall in love with the long road

You gotta fall in love with the long road

So you heard the warning bells

That cleared your eyes to the prison cells

That surround you

That everyone seems to be bound to

They say your time is up when you're 25

So you hand yourself to that suit and tie

And go down that track

But darling it's a long way back

And that's true

Oh, yes, that's true

You always knew that you were racing

But tell me what it is you're chasing

You've gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta

You gotta, sift through the water to get to the wine

You gotta fall in love, oh you've got fall in love

You gotta fall in love with the long road
