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 wanna be      'Cause the road is long, yeah   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, yeah   Each step is only the beginning   No breaks just heartaches   Oh man is anybody winning      The road is long, yeah   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..
