Long Hard Road Lyrics

It's a long hard road I'm travellin' on
Seems forever, I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I'm travellin' on
Lord I need to find my way back home
I hear the voice of my sweet mama callin'
Tellin' me to change my ways
In my mind I smell the dogwood bloomin'
Takes me back to yesterday

(CHROUS)
Yeah it's a long hard road I'm travellin' on
Seems forever, I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I'm travellin' on
Lord I need to find my way back home

( ---break--- )

I left behind the person that I once was
I changed for good and some for bad
I've wasted days and nights on love forgotten
I've traded happiness for sad

(CHROUS)
( ---break--- )

I've felt the hurt of a broken heart inside me
I've felt the joy of love unchained
I've seen the rain wash away a mountain
Like tears have washed away my pain

(CHROUS)

( ---break--- )

I've watched some loved ones dear to my heart dyin'
I've heard a new-born baby's cry
I've walked a path of glory and of darkness
I've felt the guilt of a senseless lie
(CHROUS)

( ---break--- )

Drank to forget and I've drank to remember
I've drank for love and I've drank for hate
I've danced alone with the full moon up above me
Lightin' the way to heaven's gate

(CHROUS)

( ---break--- )

I've felt the love of Jesus shinin' on me
I've felt the Devil's wicked way
Prayed for forgiveness, prayed for redemption
Prayed just to make it through the day

(CHROUS)
