Long Way to Go Songtext

von Railroad Earth

I wore my boots out walkin'
Poured my heart out talkin'
I felt the pain & i broke the chain
But i still got a long way to go

Been on the road â til tomorrow
Been through the joys & the sorrows
Came through the flood
& i pulled through the mud
But i still got a long way to go

Been in the back-room dealin'
Been on a long hook reelin'
Crashed in the shed
& i woke in a sunny bed
& i still got a long way to go

Been on the rails & big muddy
I've crossed the trails rocky & rutted

Been down the road a million miles
But i still got a long way to go

I've traveled near & traveled far
I beat a hole in my guitar
Crawled with the zeroes
& i stood with my heroes
& i still got a long way to go

Been in the rain & on the run
I worked a long day in the sun
I slopped the pails
& i beat the nails
But i still got a long way to go

I tried the a verse as the b verse
I took the c verse to the chorus
Rewrote & changed it
Then rearranged it
& i still got a long way to go

I lost my way in darkest night
I woke again & saw the light
Opened the book & i . . took a look
But i still got a long way to go

Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He's got to reach up his hand
Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He's got to reach out his hand
& i still got a long way to go
Still got a long way to go
Still got a long way to go
