It's A Long Way

(album: Without A Trace - 2016)

Driving a clunker, living in a one room shack
Your back against the wall in debt up to your neck

You work hard at the hardware store
But you still know for sure that you're made for more
Someday your name will be cleared of shame
The difference is fame between the sinner and the saint

I won't give up
No I won't stop

It's a long way, it's a long way
Rome wasn't built in a single day
Roll up your sleeves, you got nothing to lose
It's a long way, it's a long way
But you all, you're gonna scream my name someday
Yes I know, I got what it takes to go a long way

Traded my old life for a pocket full of songs
I throw my racked guitar in the back of my car
Drive on till the morning comes

Ride across the nation
To be a part of this big Rock and Roll sensation

It's a long way, it's a long way
Rome wasn't built on a single day
Roll up your sleeves, you got nothing to lose
It's a long way, it's a long way
But you all, you're gonna scream my name someday
Yes I know, I got what it takes to go a long way

I won't give up
You know baby, I just can't stop

It's a long way, it's a long way
Rome wasn't built on a single day
Roll up your sleeves, you got nothing to lose
It's a long way, it's a long way

But you all, you're gonna scream my name someday
Yes I know, I got what it takes to go a long way
