The Watermen - Long Road lyrics

I started out I was just a baby boy I would cruise on momma's hardwood floors I was rollin like a rollin stone My big wheel kept a rollin on I was flyin in my brain bucket and there was no other rush like it Saint Christopher was by my side and Oh Lord what a crazy ride it's an l-o-n-g l-o-n-g r-o-a-d long long road It's a long road It's a long road It's a long Road we're travellin on We count the steps to that thin horizon We can't reach it - it keeps getting farther and these long days are wearin out my soul yea It's a long Road we're ramblin on can you tell which is north and south If I had a known it was just an illusion from the heat of the sun rising off the blacktop It's a long road It's a long road I'm loosing ground in this high stakes race Just tryin to keep it between the lines as my heart breaks I pray the Lord I can keep the faith Now the arrows pointing to empty on my fuel gage Through the fog I see the checkered black & white Is that a beacon or the jaws of life Through the tunnel now I'm headin for the light another casualty has lost the fight it's an l-o-n-g l-o-n-g r-o-a-d long long road It's a long road It's a long road It's a long Road we're travellin on We count the steps to that thin horizon We can't reach it - it keeps getting farther and these long days are wearin out my soul yea It's a long Road we're ramblin on can you tell which is north and south If I had a known it was just an illusion from the heat of the sun rising off the blacktop It's a long road It's a long road
