Andy Griggs - Long Stretch of Lonesome lyrics

Some men are destined to live out their lives where they are Some love the city and some never stray from the farm, no I'm always drawn to the echo of some distant trail And a long stretch of lonesome constantly callin' my name My spirit is restless and rebellin' burns in my blood Wide lines and black top they keep my wheels chasin' the sun I've come to accept all the things I know I'll never change Like a long stretch of lonesome constantly callin' my name I swung a hammer till my hands were blistered and sore I've loaded trucks till my back couldn't take anymore Hey, I've been in the arms of some places I should have stayed But a long stretch of lonesome is constantly callin' my name My spirit is restless and rebellin' burns in my blood Wide lines and black top they keep my wheels chasin' the sun I've come to accept all the things I know I'll never change Like a long stretch of lonesome constantly callin' my name, ohh Let's go, yeah At the end of the highway they'll chisel my name in the stone They'll bury my body but they'll never bury my soul, no My spirit is restless and rebellin' burns in my blood Wide lines and black top they keep my wheels chasin' the sun I've come to accept all the things I know I'll never change Like a long stretch of lonesome constantly callin' my name Like a long stretch of lonesome constantly callin' my name
