It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when
They tear your dreams apart

And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find peace of mind
Can break your heart

It's a real war
Right outside your front door I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend

Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me in my own space
Where I'm free that's the place

I want to be
'Cause the road is long yeah
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks just heartaches

Oh man is anybody winning
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do

To survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night you gotta fight

To keep alive
It's a long road
