I started out I was just a baby boy
I would cruise on momma's hardwood floors
I was rollin like a rollin stone
My big wheel kept a rollin on

I was flyin in my brain bucket
and there was no other rush like it
Saint Christopher was by my side
and Oh Lord what a crazy ride

it's an
l-o-n-g l-o-n-g r-o-a-d long long road
It's a long road
It's a long road

It's a long Road we're travellin on
We count the steps to that thin horizon
We can't reach it - it keeps getting farther and these
long days are wearin out my soul

yea It's a long Road we're ramblin on
can you tell which is north and south
If I had a known it was just an illusion from the heat of the sun
rising off the blacktop
It's a long road
It's a long road

I'm loosing ground in this high stakes race
Just tryin to keep it between the lines as my heart breaks
I pray the Lord I can keep the faith
Now the arrows pointing to empty on my fuel gage

Through the fog I see the checkered black & white
Is that a beacon or the jaws of life
Through the tunnel now I'm headin for the light
another casualty has lost the fight

it's an
l-o-n-g l-o-n-g r-o-a-d long long road
It's a long road
It's a long road

It's a long Road we're travellin on
We count the steps to that thin horizon
We can't reach it - it keeps getting farther and these
long days are wearin out my soul

yea It's a long Road we're ramblin on
can you tell which is north and south
If I had a known it was just an illusion from the heat of the sun
rising off the blacktop
It's a long road
It's a long road
