Long Road
Barry Marler
1990 Cabbage Flake Music (BMI)
Not so straight, bent not broken
Twisted fate, colored red, white, and blue
Take this bait, take this token
Man, I think we've been taking from you
Hey mister, can you spare me a dime
One moment , rich American time
Is one thing we can't buy
Old man look me in the eye
I think you are here, here to stay
Listen hard, all he'll say
Just don't let me down
It's a long road
To wear the thorny crown
It's a tough, tough road
In the street in the city
Chase the weak and the meek and the poor
Gospel preached to feed the kity
Man I think we'll been closing the door
Hey mister, can you spare me a dime
One moment , rich American
Time ain't always on our side
This devil's got us hypnotized
By jacklas with shackles and chains
The future lies in our hands
Just don't let me down
It's a long road
To wear the thorny crown
It's a tough, tough road
Right now I can't see down in your eyes
But I know what I'd find there
Just don't let me down
It's a long road
To wear the thorny crown
It's a tough, tough road
Just don't let me down, down
