lord i've come a long way
and here's what i gotta say
i've paid but i had to pay
to play what i had to play
i was born in the country
strayed in to town
and i'm going anywhere
to see what's going down
i've seen cowards and hero's as fast as the wind
i go down any road there is
to see what's around the bend
girls i've had me a few
some were small and some were cute
i've tasted the honey and dew
lord i will be with you
i was born in the country
strayed in to town
and i go anywhere
to see what's going down
i've seen coward's and hero's as fast as the wind
i go down any road there is
to see what's around the bend
you let me rest my weary head
weary head
let's find out
what this life is before we're dead
before we're dead
lord i've come a long way
and here's what i had to say
i've paid what i had to pay
lord now i'm on my way
i was born in the country
strayed in to town
and i go anywhere
to see what's going down
i've seen cowards and hero's as fast as the wind
i go down any road there is
to see what's around the bend
