long hard road

church bells ring at your window and i know that all of these things

are surely found to be holy in the presence of the lord

tell me all that your feeling and i will believe every word

'cause to think you would speak out in lies

baby that just sounds absurd

and if you want me to go i will

but if you need me to stay baby that'd be a thrill

'cause tomorrow will be a long

hard road out of ohio and i'll hate every mile

that takes me back to kentucky and away from your smile

hold me and tell me you need me

i need you more than you know

'cause now that i've found what i wanted it's hard to let it go

and the hills have always been home

but now that i've found you the shadows seem cold

and tomorrow will be a long

hard road out of ohio and i'll hate every mile

that takes me back to kentucky and away from your smile

and if you want me to go i will

but if you need me to stay baby that'd be a thrill

'cause tomorrow will be a long

hard road out of ohio and i'll hate every mile

that takes me back to kentucky and away from your smile
