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
