Lyrics

Big old snake o' red tail lights
Lookin' for a drain
Pretty red, like diamond bright become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side, it will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes, you better listen what
I say Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place to put down their heavy load
Fat cat screamin' up above 'cause he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear he kick your chains and make you dance
Dance around his daydream 'till he gets to fly away you find a dagger in your back you better listen what
I say Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place to put down their heavy load
Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Hard is the road [solo]
Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place to put down their heavy load
Long is the time, and hard is the road.
