Lyrics
Long, Long Road 1997 Michael B. Carlisle
V1:
Four O-clock, Friday evening
And your still awake, from that same bad dream
Keeps haunting you, oh, and you can't shake it
If you wanted to, mmm... if you wanted to.
V2:
Headin' out, on a desert highway
And you can't recall, which way to go
Upon the dashboard, sits a two bit angle
Watchin' over you, mmm... watchin' over you.
SHORT LEAD BREAK:
V3:
Turn around, and try ?n remember
What road you took, that ended here
But the truth be known, aw it?s not where you?ve been
But where you go, aw where you go,
Hook: Well you started out, in some small town
Where the rooster crowed when the sun went down.
You didn't seem to notice, or didn't care
Well you walked along the railroad tracks
Never thinking once of looking back
Until you finely noticed, where it ends,
Oh-oh-oo-wow-oo-oh
Corr: And it's a long, long road
Anyway you take it.
It's a long, long way,
Anyway you go, It's a long, long road
Woo-oo-woo
HOOK: (Instrumentle)
INTRO:
V4:
Pack it up, It's time to go now
No you can't stay here,
With your bridges burned
One more road, maybe one more highway
And you'll be home, aw you?ll be home
Hook: (with vocal)
Hook: ( ½ lead, ½ vocal {Walked along?})
Corr:
Ad Lib: Woo-oo-woo, It's a long, long road
