It’s a long road 
When you’re on your own 
And it hurts when 
They tear your dreams apart 
And every new town 
Just seems to bring you down 
Trying to find peace of mind 
Can break your heart 

It’s a real war 
Right outside your front door I tell ya 
Out where they’ll kill ya 
You could use a friend 
Where the road is 
That’s the place for me 
Where I’m me in my own space 
Where I’m free that’s the place 
I wanna be 

’Cause the road is long yeah 
Each step is only the beginning 
No breaks just heartaches 
Oh man is anybody winning 

It’s a long road 
And it’s hard as [bad word] 
Tell me what do you do 
To survive 
When they draw first blood 
That’s just the start of it 
Day and night you gotta fight 
To keep alive 

It’s a real war 
Right outside your front door I tell ya 
Out where they’ll kill ya 
You could use a friend 

’Cause the road is long yeah 
Each step is only the beginning 
No breaks just heartaches 
Oh man is anybody winning 
The road is long yeah 
Each step is only the beginning 
No breaks just heartaches 
Oh man is anybody winning 

It’s a long road 
It’s a long road
