Long Road - pompodat/New Old Blues/Soul Blues Icon/Sons of Ashes
Dusty boots
On a gravel road
Sun sinking low
Where the wild winds blow
Every step feels heavy
On this worn out soul
But I keep on pushing
I'm never letting go
Miles behind me
Dreams ahead
Heart full of stories that I've never said
Whiskey nights and motel lights
But I still see that place in my head
It's a hard road home
Through the rain and storm
Through the night so cold
Where dreams are born
And every tired heart I've known
Knows a long way back
On this hard road home
On this hard road home
I've left love
Like footprints in the sand
Traded all my maps for a worn out plan
But every turn brings me closer again
To the place where we began
Oh, I wanted far
I wanted wide
Fought the fear
Felt inside
And though the pain tried to break me down
Hope kept whispering follow that sound
It's a hard road home
Keep on going
Through the dark to the light still showing
Every heartbeat, every mile flows on this long, long road
Oh
On this long road
Someday I'll lay these burdens down
When I reach back to that old hometown
Hard roads teach the soul the wrong
But even harder to make the joy
Coming home
