Long Hard Road Songtext / Lyric

you meet a lot of travelers on the road that winds through life

some hands hold the light of love, some hands conceal a knife

some friends stand behind you, some lie right to your face

i don't have time for looking back, i've got to run this race



some receive salvation and they love you for your prayers

some resent the role you played and claim the work was theirs

some people like to put you down 'cause they know you won't fight back

some folks speak of love and peace but their heart is cold and black



down a long hard road, where i come from

down a long hard road i'm traveling on

down a long hard road and i keep going, going, going, going

down a long hard road, where i come from

down a long hard road that i've been on

down a long hard road and i keep going, going, going



some people never understand the road you're traveling on

some people hate you while you live, some love you when you're gone

forget about you're reputation, Satan's gonna shake it up

some people don't know truth from lies, so they just make it up

all right now






down a long hard road, where i come from

down a long hard road i'm traveling on

down a long hard road and i keep going, going, going, going

down a long hard road, where i come from

down a long hard road that i've been on

down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going



it's great to feel that love for all those people that you know

but if they change direction, wish them well and let them go

you know it may be sad to lose so many friend along the way

but the road i'm walking on, it gets more narrow every day

yeah



down a long hard road, where i come from

down a long hard road i'm traveling on

down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going

down a long hard road, where i come from

down a long hard road that i've been on

down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going

down a long hard road

down a long hard road

down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going
