Story Behind The Song

Long, Long time on the road

Song Description

Long time on the road

Lyrics

see the guitar in the corner
See the picture on the shelf
Of the rinestone coveresd cowboy
with a sad song on his lips
Feel the dissapointment
His lonely heart has known
He can sing his whole life
In the chorus of a song

(Chours)
One day up
One day down
On the road from town to town
Doing one night stands
With a back woods country band
Drinking everybody's whisky
just to make a friend
Is he on the road to fame
Or has he done reached the end

He's only thirty one
But his face is forty two
He's still dreaming of a spot light Lord
and things yet left to do
Sleeping in the back seat
of a run down rented buss
His name's painted on the outside
But it's covered up with dust

Chorus

Tonight he'll come out smiling
To the croud from the stage
He'll sing his songs and they'll applaud
Then he'll be on his way
Heading for the next town
Another place to play
Dreaming of tomorrow Lord
But things aint gona change

Chorus
