Ain’t No Road Too Long

[Intro]

[Waylon Jennings: Spoken]
So you are the bird on the run, huh?

[Big Bird: Spoken]
Oh, yeah! And I can't wait to get back to my real home on Sesame Street! I figure I can walk back there in, oh, about, uh, three hours

[Jennings: Spoken]
Three hours? More like three weeks, buddy

[Big Bird: Spoken]
Three weeks? Oh, no! I'll never get home

[Jennings: Spoken]
Sure you will. You just gotta keep going. Pick up your feet and follow your beak

[Big Bird: Spoken]
Oh, I don't know

[Jennings: Spoken]
Listen to me, son

[Verse 1: Jennings]
I found out a long time ago
You gotta learn to say "yes" when life says "no"
Don't dwell on the bad times once they're past
That kind of thinking gets you nowhere fast

[Chorus: Jennings]
Cause there ain't no mountain you can't climb
If you hang on tight and just make up your mind
Once you set your heart to movin' on
Son, there ain't no road too long

[Verse 2: Gordon & *Olivia*]
Don't look back, don't you turn around
*Just keep your eye on where you're bound*
**And you're bound to get from here to there
Cause a dream can take you anywhere**

[Cookie Monster: Spoken]
Ooh! Take me to cookies!

[Chorus: Grover & *Count Von Count*]
Cause there ain't no mountain you can't climb
If you hang on tight and just make up your mind
*Once you set your heart to moving on
No, there is no road too long!*

[Count Von Count: Spoken]
And you can count the telephone poles!
One telephone pole!
Two telephone pole!
Three telephone pole!
Four telephone poles!

[Maria: Spoken]
Oscar! This isn't Route 12!

[Oscar: Spoken]
Picky, picky, picky!

[Telly: Spoken]
Oh no!

[Oscar: Spoken]
I never promised you a road [?]

[Ernie: Spoken]
Oh, we're gonna find him alright, Bert

[Bert: Spoken]
Yeah

[Ernie: Spoken]
Hey, you remember what color he is?

[Bert: Spoken]
What?

[Ernie: Spoken]
He's yellow

[Bert: Spoken]
Ernie!

[Chorus: Big Bird]
Cause there ain't no mountain you can't climb
If you hang on tight and just make up your mind
Once you set your heart to movin' on
No, there ain't no road too long

[Chorus: Jennings & *Big Bird*]
Cause there ain't no mountain you can't climb
*That's right!*
If you hang on tight and just make up your mind
*Uh-huh!*
Once you set your heart to movin' on
*Sing it!*
There ain't no road too long
There ain't no road too long
*There ain't no road too long*
No, there ain't no road too long

[Big Bird: Spoken]
You're right. If I just keep on going, everything will turn out fine
