Well, I met old Wailin back in '79
|
When I was in my teens
|
When I told him what was on my mind
|
He said son you don't wanna feel like me
|
|
There's a lot 'bout my life that you don't know
|
And boy it sure ain't good
|
The big wheels will drive you crazy
|
And the highway will make you do things you never would
|
|
When you're living in the spotlight
|
It's another world every night
|
It's a different town everyday
|
You pay your dues if you're gonna play
|
|
The only thing that makes it worthwhile
|
Is a big crowd going wild
|
But you gotta long way to go
|
You gotta long, long way to go
|
|
But I've had this in my blood since the day
|
I held a guitar in my hand
|
And it wasn't long till Baumann was the home
|
Of another cowboy band
|
|
And too cold at home put me on the road
|
And I know exactly how he felt
|
Back then how was I to know
|
That the hands of fate for me were already dealt
|
|
Now I'm living in the spotlight
|
It's another town every night
|
It's a different world everyday
|
You pay your dues if you're gonna play
|
|
The only thing that makes it worthwhile
|
Is a big crowd going wild
|
But I've gotta long way to go
|
I gotta long, long way to go
|
A long, long way to go
|

Long Way To Go
