Long Black Road

They used to tell me boy you aint goin nowhere
With your cheap guitar and your big long hair
You gotta realize all your responsibilities
You gotta get out to work and face reality
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin down the long black road
So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin
I couldnt find my way I didnt know what I was doin
I saw a lot of people coming back the other way
So I kept on goin when I heard them say
«you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin down the long black road»
I made a lot of money I was makin quite a mess
But they all told me money wouldnt bring me happiness
«you gotta work like a man in a real mans life
Youre gonna have to take all the trouble and strife»
You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin down the long black road
