Everybody wants to hear about if you got lost Or if you broke down I was treading my way through the tall grass Trying to find a reason to be there I don't know much, but I know that things will never change If you keep doing the same things the same way You've got to slow down and let your focus drift You've gotta take the time You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta You gotta, stick out your neck just to get over the line You gotta fall in love with the long road She pours coffee direct into her bloodstream It's poisoning your patience honey Get something else to keep you on your feet I don't dream much, but lately I've been dreaming more You won't believe the things I saw You've got to slow down and let your focus drift You've gotta take the time You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta You gotta, sift through the water to get to the wine You gotta fall in love with the long road You gotta fall in love with the long road So you heard the warning bells That cleared your eyes to the prison cells That surround you That everyone seems to be bound to They say your time is up when you're 25 So you hand yourself to that suit and tie And go down that track But darling it's a long way back And that's true Oh, yes, that's true You always knew that you were racing But tell me what it is you're chasing You've gotta take the time You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta You gotta, sift through the water to get to the wine You gotta fall in love, oh you've got fall in love You gotta fall in love with the long road
