There's a long hard road ahead of me Full of twists and turns in places I can't see But if I'm to reach the valley where the grass is growing green There's a long hard road ahead of me ♪ I am lying in a place where I can't sleep Every way I turn my body, I'm still beat And the longer that I stay here, the more I know I need To take the long hard road ahead of me ♪ I have looked out for a path that I might find Just an easy way to walk and change my mind But the way from which I waver is the only path I see There's a long hard road ahead of me ♪ There's a pretty girl waiting for me there She's a jewel in a crown that any king would want to wear But she's locked up in a tower by some hands that I can't see There's a long hard road ahead of me ♪ There's a destination worth the weary way Where the one I love will look at me and say Thank you for the time you spent fighting to be free On the long hard road, you took the long hard road And you made it to the place you want to be
