I’ll try to explain this as best I understand the lyrics:
(1) “It’s a long road/ When you’re on your own/”
When you’ve had a rough life (upbringing, veteran of war, abuse survivor, etc), few people can truly understand what you have been through. no one can really relate to you, and you feel lik...
It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when they tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find
Peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me
In my own space
Where I'm free
That's the place
I want to be
'Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do to survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night
You gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a real war
Right outside your front door
I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Cause
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
The road is long and
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks, just heartaches
Oh man, is anybody winning?
It's a long road
It's a long road
It’s a Long Road was written by Hal Shaper & Jerry Goldsmith.
