Valerie June - Long Lonely Road lyrics

Pile in the church pew rows Gran made the best yeast rolls Gospel stories told 'Bout the one way to save your soul Drag out the old guitar Gas up that old Ford car We're gonna hit the dusty road Four wheels can barely load It's been a long It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, lonely road Pops made his work in dust But his hard-working hands fed us Sun up till sun sank down His body worked to the ground Folks thought we had it made 'Cause we always kept a face Meanwhile there's bills to pay And the stack growing every day It's been a long It's been a long, long Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road My, my, my it's been a long Been a long, long Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road Soon as I turned 18 I packed up the gra** is green New York or Tennessee Where I am is where I'll be God tell me 'bout your plans And I'll find a place to land Surely there'd be a way To move towards a brighter day It's been a long It's been a long, long Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road My, my, my, it's been a long Been a long, long Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road My, my, my, it's been a long Been a long, long Long, long lonely road One person's path unpaved Went towards the path that saved These are the songs you sing In the search for the gra** that's green It's been a long Been a long, long, long, lonely road
