Long Black Road |
| They used to tell me boy you aint goin nowhere |
| With your cheap guitar and your big long hair |
| You gotta realize all your responsibilities |
| You gotta get out to work and face reality |
| You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load |
| And you gotta keep goin down the long black road |
| So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin |
| I couldnt find my way I didnt know what I was doin |
| I saw a lot of people coming back the other way |
| So I kept on goin when I heard them say |
| «you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load |
| And you gotta keep goin down the long black road» |
| I made a lot of money I was makin quite a mess |
| But they all told me money wouldnt bring me happiness |
| «you gotta work like a man in a real mans life |
| Youre gonna have to take all the trouble and strife» |
| You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load |
| And you gotta keep goin down the long black road |
