The Long Road

(album: Thelma Houston - 1994)

Oh, oh, oh yeah... o-ho-ho...

Oh, he set out on the road
And sat back inside his car
Turned up the radio
And he knew he'd find her
Like Columbus he set sail
And he looked up at the stars
Like Galileo, Galileo
They never failed him before
On the long road

Underneath the velvet sky
And the magic of the moon
The sweet scent of love
To guide his destination
He pressed his foot down on the gas
And drove south
To where his heart was called to follow
Yes he did

It never failed him before
On the long road, the long road
It never failed him before
On the long road, oh!

(Never turn back) yeah (never), oh!
(Never turn back)
He had no member to call, people
'Cause when your spirit's free
It takes the lead
It doesn't matter at all
(Follow where it leads) better follow

(Never look back) hey, (never look down) yeah!
You might not like what you see here
So he set aside, and he kept his eye
On the sparrow, yes he did
Oh, he set his side, and the rest
Is a history

Oh, ho, ho... ow!
I got to find my baby!

Oh, he set out on the road
And sat back inside his car
He turned up the radio
And he knew he'd find her
He pressed his foot down on the gas
And drove south
To where his heart was called to follow
Yes he did

It never failed him before
No, on the long road, oh no
It never let him down, woo-ho
On the long road, I tell you...

(Never look down) no! (never)
(Never turn back) never
Don't tell no [?] to call home
'Cause when your spirit's free
It takes the lead
It doesn't matter at all, oh people

(Never give up) no! (never)
(Never give up) never
He kept his eye on the prize
When your spirit's free
You gotta keep on traveling
Traveling down the long road
You gotta keep your eye
Keep your eye on the dream
On the looo... ong road

You gotta keep on traveling
Don't you never look back
