The world's a big and a lonesome place You know it's rare to find a friendly face Everybody got their tail to chase Or some time that they plan to waste Out lazing in the sun I try to take some different road Where I'm bound I can only hope That it'll lead me through a foreign land Where I can cool my heels under sacred sands And reach out to the kingdom But that's easier said than done Not to burn your tongue on the rising sun It's easier said than done You're gonna run run run for all of your life Odyssey is just the fantasy Of a lonely soul lost at sea Don't you know many a rolling stone Finds a ditch and dies alone After they had their fun Cause it's easier said than done Not to burn your tongue on the rising sun It's easier said than done You're gonna run run run for all of your life Well if you wanna play in a rock 'n' roll band (sha la la) You really better understand That it's easier said than done Not to burn your tongue on the rising sun It's easier said than done You're gonna run run run, run run run for all of your life
