This Road Is Long

Stuart A. Staples


This road is long and
There's always another town
They said we couldn't run forever
But for my life I'll try

Just to be with you
Is all I have
Just to be with you
Is all I have

I get tired of travelin'
Sometimes I just wanna go home
I get so tired of hangin' around
Just wanna put my feet down

Will you let me down
You're just waitin'
This road is long and
There's always another town
You can put your feet down
I could get a job

You say we could run forever
But there's nothing left on the way
Those dreams just seem to build their walls in front of us

Just to be with you
Is all I have

Don't you ever think that I didn't want it all
And don't you ever say
I put my hands in to the flames
Knowing I couldn't back away
And I burned myself
I hurt myself

I saw you running
I couldn't help
But to watch you for myself
I put my hands into the flames
But I don't feel them
Just enough self for my doubt
To flee it all

This road is long and
There's always another town

This road is long and
There's always another town
