lyrics

It Looks Like A Long Road Ahead

When I was young, I thought by thirty three,
I’d retire, kick back and live at ease.
I passed that goal some years ago, working hard instead
and it looks like a long road ahead.
In my running years I figured out,
that with a wife and kids I’d settle down.
Now I can hardly keep them sheltered, clothed and fed,
and it looks like a long road ahead.

A long row to hoe, a long way to go,
with no rest for the weary or the tired.
Working hard to get so far behind in the red,
and it looks like a long road ahead.

I wrote these songs and polished them like pearls,
for the time I’d sing them to the world.
Still, no matter how many songs I write
there is so much left to be said,
and it looks like a long road ahead.
I thought when I labored hard and I did my best,
I’d advance this latter to success.
But I ain’t going nowhere fast for this model life I’ve led,
and it looks like a long road ahead,

A long row to hoe, a long way to go,
with no rest for the weary or the tired.
Working hard to get so far behind instead,
and it looks like a long road ahead.
Yes it does! It looks like it’s a long road ahead.
