Long Road

TAKE YOUR COAT AND GRAB YOUR HAT
I’LL SEE YOU ON DOWN THE LINE
UNCLE TITO IS ON MY MIND AND IT MAKES ME FEEL WARM INSIDE
FIRE BURNING FEEL THE FLAME AND COFFEE IS ON THE BREW
MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY I’M SITTING HERE THINKING OF YOU

IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD
CHASING THAT NEON GREEN
PIPE DREAM I’M TOLD
BUT THEY WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN BURNED
AND I’VE LOST EVERYTHING A TIME OR TWO
IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD GETTING BACK HOME TO YOU

MONEY IS TIGHT
AND THEY GOT THE RIGHT
TO TAKE EVERYTHING BUY MY SHOES
THE CAR NOTE IS LATE AND I MIGHT BREAK THE BANK
IF I CAN’T PULL THROUGH
PENDING UNSAID MIRACLES OR AN ACT FROM GOD ABOVE
I’LL BE HITTING THE ROAD COME MAY OR JUNE
AND I’M WALKING HOME IN MY SHOES

IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD
CHASING THAT NEON GREEN
PIPE DREAM I’M TOLD
BUT THEY WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN BURNED
AND I’VE LOST EVERYTHING A TIME OR TWO
IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD GETTING BACK HOME TO YOU


I FOUND JESUS HE’S DOWN AT THE WALMART
WORKING IN A CHECK OUT STAND
OH YEAH AND WHAT I MEAN IS
I COULD NEVER BE THAT MAN
I MAY STARVE BUT I WON’T STEAL
AND I’LL HAVE WHAT I NEED
I’VE GOT HOLES IN MY SHOES
BUT I CAN’T LOSE WITH THE GRACE THAT’S BEEN GIVEN TO ME

IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD
CHASING THAT NEON GREEN
PIPE DREAM I’M TOLD
BUT THEY WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN BURNED
AND I’VE LOST EVERYTHING A TIME OR TWO
IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD GETTING BACK HOME TO YOU

IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD
CHASING THAT NEON GREEN
PIPE DREAM I’M TOLD
BUT THEY WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN BURNED
AND I’VE LOST EVERYTHING A TIME OR TWO
IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD GETTING BACK HOME TO YOU
IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD GETTING BACK HOME TO YOU
IT’S BEEN A LONG ROAD GETTING BACK HOME
HOME TO YOU
