|
I'm gonna walk across the desert 'til I'm in my right mind. |
|
I won't even think about what I left behind |
|
Nothing back there anyway that I can call my own |
|
Go back home, leave me alone |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
Ever since the British burned the White House down |
|
There's a bleeding wound in the heart of town |
|
I saw you drinking from an empty cup |
|
I saw you buried and I saw you dug up |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
Look down angel from the skies |
|
Help my weary soul to rise |
|
I kissed your cheek, I dragged your plow |
|
You broke my heart, I was your friend 'til now. |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
In the courtyard of the golden sun |
|
You stand and fight or you break and run |
|
You went and lost your lovely head |
|
For a drink of wine and a crust of bread |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
We looted and we plundered on distant shores |
|
Why is my share not equal to yours? |
|
Your father left you, your mother too |
|
Even death has washed it's hands of you |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
This is a hard country to stay alive in |
|
Blades are everywhere, and they're breaking my skin |
|
I'm armed to the hilt and I'm struggling hard |
|
You won't get out of here unscarred. |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
You got too many lovers waiting at the wall |
|
If I had a thousand tongues I couldn't count them all |
|
Yesterday I could've thrown them all in the sea |
|
Today even one may be too much for me |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
Cake walking baby, you could do no wrong |
|
Put your arms around me where they belong |
|
I wanna take you on a roller coaster ride |
|
Lay my hands all over you, tie you to my side |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
I've got a heavy stacked woman with a smile on her face |
|
And she has crowned my soul with grace |
|
I'm still hurting from an arrow that pierced my chest |
|
I'm gonna have to take my head and bury it between your breasts |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
Been dark all night but now it's dawn |
|
The moving finger is moving on |
|
You can guard me while I sleep |
|
Kiss away the tears I weep |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
|
I love women, and she loves men |
|
We've been to the west and we're going back again |
|
I heard a voice at the dusk of day |
|
Saying, "Be gentle brother, be gentle and pray." |
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way |
|
If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday |
