It's a long road When you're on your own And it hurts when they tear your dreams apart And every new town Just seems to bring you down Trying to find Peace of mind Can break your heart It's a real war Right outside your front door, I tell ya Out where they'll kill ya, You could use a friend Where the road is: That's the place for me Where I'm me In my own space, Where I'm free - That's the place I want to be 'Cause The road is long and Each step is only the beginning No breaks, just heartaches Oh man, is anybody winning? It's a long road And it's hard as well Tell me what do you do to survive When they draw first blood That's just the start of it Day and night You gotta fight To keep alive It's a real war Right outside your front door, I tell ya Out where they'll kill ya, You could use a friend 'Cause The road is long and Each step is only the beginning No breaks, just heartaches Oh man, is anybody winning? The road is long and Each step is only the beginning No breaks, just heartaches Oh man, is anybody winning? It's a long road It's a long road
