Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road
Big old snake of red tail-lights
Looking for a drain
Pretty red like diamonds bright
Become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side
It will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes
You'd better listen to what I say
Long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Fat cat screaming up above
'Cos he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his wreckless fear
He kick your chains and make you dance
Dance around his daydream till he gets to fly away
You find a dagger in your back,
You'd better listen what I say
Long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place to put down their heavy load
Long is the time and hard is the road...
