Lyrics
It's a long, long road, going nowhere, looking for somewhere, to call home.
It's a long, long time, forever, Thinkin bout never... going home.
It's a long, long time, in the darkness, in the shadows, and out of sight.
It's a cold, cold, world, that we live in....my body's shivering, cold as ice.
Have a cigarette, have another beer....what you do here,feels like nobody cares.
It's a long, long time, till tomorrow, living in sorrow, living in fear.
It's a long way down...to the bottom, with the chill of autumn, hanging in the air.
Find a hole, crawl inside....you can run, but you cannot hide.
Come to the surface, gasping for air, feels like your drowning,and nobody cares........
It's a long, long road, going nowhere, looking for somewhere, to call home.
