Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road Songtext / Lyric

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.
