Graduated High School class of 96    Nameless face in the middle of the small town clique    No yellow tassel to adorn my gown    I barely made my pass but momma sure was proud oh       They tried to tell me change was gonna come    But I was frightened by the thought of my own evolution    Jumped in the car, crunk up the radio    Shook off my innocence and lost my self control       Yeah I had a long, long way to go    Long, long way to go    The whole world in front of me and time moving so slow    I had a long, long way to go       Well I fell off track somewhere along the way    Chained all my dreams of a mirror and a razor blade    Momma said I guess its just a part of growing up    And I’ve spent my last five years trying to straighten up       But I’ve got a long, long way to go    A long, long way to go    I’ve still got my deamons yeah they’re knocking at my door    I’ve got a long, long way to go       Momma died 3 years ago just yesterday    And I placed a rose beneath that tree where she lay    Then I said a prayer there in here memory    And in some sad strange way it reminded me       That I’ve got a long, long way to go    A long, long way to go    To live is to struggle and to struggle is to grow    You know I’ve got a long, long way to go    A long, long way to go    A long, long way to go    The whole world in front of me and time moving so slow    I’ve got a long, long way to go
