I wore my boots out walkin?
Poured my heart out talkin?
I felt the pain & I broke the chain
But I still got a long way to go
Been on the road ?til tomorrow
Been through the joys & the sorrows
Came through the flood
& I pulled through the mud
But I still got a long way to go
Been in the back-room dealin?
Been on a long hook reelin?
Crashed in the shed
& I woke in a sunny bed
& I still got a long way to go
Been on the rails & big muddy
I?ve crossed the trails rocky & rutted
Been down the road a million miles
But I still got a long way to go
I?ve traveled near & traveled far
I beat a hole in my guitar
Crawled with the zeroes
& I stood with my heroes
& I still got a long way to go
Been in the rain & on the run
I worked a long day in the sun
I slopped the pails
& I beat the nails
But I still got a long way to go
I tried the a verse as the be verse
I took the see verse to the chorus
Rewrote & changed it
Then rearranged it
& I still got a long way to go
I lost my way in darkest night
I woke again & saw the light
Opened the book & I . . took a look
But I still got a long way to go
Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He?s got to reach up his hand
Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He?s got to reach out his hand
& I still got a long way to go
Still got a long way to go
Still got a long way to go
