Lyrics

Long Hard Road

[Chorus 1] There's a long hard road ahead But a voice inside me said "You know there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright" Said "there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright" [Verse] When in this life, in this life when I can only turn my chin I know it's gonna be alright When this big old town is closing in and I've lost again Here I could stay but I'll keep moving on Here I could stay but I'll keep moving on Could be I won't be wrong [Chorus 2] There's a long hard road ahead But a voice inside me said "Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright
