I'm gonna walk across the desert 'til I'm in my right mind I won't even think about what I left behind Nothing back there anyway that I can call my own Go back home, leave me alone It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday Ever since the British burned the White House down There's a bleeding wound in the heart of town I saw you drinking from an empty cupExplain I saw you buried and I saw you dug up It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday Look down angel from the skies Help my weary soul to rise I kissed her cheek I dragged your plow You broke my heart, I was your friend 'til now It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday In the courtyard of the golden sun You stand and fight or you break and run You went and lost your lovely head For a drink of wine and a crust of bread It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way SongtexteIf I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday We looted and we plundered on distant shores Why is my share not equal to yours Your father left you, your mother too Even death has washed it's hands of you It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday This is hard country to stay alive in Blades are everywhere and they're breaking my skin I'm armed to the hilt and I'm struggling hard You won't get out of here unscarred It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday You got too many lovers waiting at the wall About a thousand tons, I couldn't count them all Yesterday I could've thrown them all in the sea Today, even one, may be too much for me It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday Can't walk them, baby, you could do no wrong Put your arms around me, where they belong I won't take you under for the ghost to ???? Lay my hands all over you, tie you to my side It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday I've got a heavy stacked woman with a smile on her face And she has crowned my soul with grace Im still hurting from an arrow that pierced my chest I'm gonna have to take my head and bury it between your breasts It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday Been dark all night but now it's dawn The moving finger is moving on You can guard me while I sleep Kiss away the tears I weep It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday I love women and she loves men We've been to the west and we going back again I heard a voice at the dusk of day Saying, "Be gentle brother, be gentle and pray." It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way If I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday Aus Songtexte Mania
