I'm gonna walk across the desert, 'til I'm in my right mind.
|
I won't even thing 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 cant 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 cup
|
I saw you buried, and I saw you dug up
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
|
If I cant 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 frown[?]
|
You broke my heart, I was your friend 'til now.
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
|
If I cant 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
|
If I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
|
|
We neutered[?] 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 cant 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 cant 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 cant 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 ride[?]
|
Lay my hands all over ya, tie you to my side
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
|
If I cant 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
|
I'm 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 cant 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
|
Piss away, the tears I weep
|
It's a long road, it's a long and narrow way
|
If I cant 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 cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
|
