I'm gonna walk across
the desert 'til I'm in my
right mind
I won't even thing about
what I left behind
Nothing back there
anyway that I can
call my own
Go back home leave
me alone
It's a long road it's a
long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely have
to work down to me
someday
Ever since the British
burned the White
House down
There's a bleeding
wound in the heart
of town
I saw you drinking
from an empty cu
I saw you buried and
I saw you dug up
It's a long road it's a
long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely have
to work down to me
someday
Look down angel
from the skies
Help my weary soul
to rise
I kissed her cheek
I dragged your frown
You broke my heart
I was your friend
'til now
It's a long road it's
a long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely
have to work down
to me someday
In the courtyard of
the golden sun
You stand and fight
or you break and run
You went and lost
your lovely head
For a drink of wine
and a crust of bread
It's a long road it's a
long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely have
to work down to me
someday
We neutered and
we plundered on
distant shores
Why is my share
not equal to yours
Your father left you
your mother too
Even death has
washed it's hands
of you
It's a long road it's
a long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely have
to work down to me
someday
This is hard country
to stay alive in
Blades are everywhere
and they're breaking
my skin
I'm armed to the hilt
and I'm struggling hard
You won't get out
of here unscarred
It's a long road it's
a long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely
have to work down
to me someday
You got too many
lovers waiting at
the wall
About a thousand
tons I couldn't
count them all
Yesterday I could've
thrown them all in
the sea
Today even one may
be too much for me
It's a long road it's
a long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely
have to work down
to me someday
Can't walk them baby
you could do no wrong
Put your arms around
me where they belong
I won't take you under
for the ghost to ride
Lay my hands all
over ya tie you to
my side
It's a long road
it's a long and
narrow way
If I can't work up
to you you'll surely
have to work down
to me someday
I've got a heavy
stacked woman with
a smile on her face
And she has crowned
my soul with grace
I'm still hurting from an
arrow that pierced
my chest
I'm gonna have to
take my head and
bury it between
your breasts
It's a long road it's a
long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely
have to work down
to me someday
Been dark all night
but now it's dawn
The moving finger
is moving on
You can guard me
while I sleep
Piss away the tears
I weep
It's a long road it's a
long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely
have to work down
to me someday
I love women and
she loves men
We've been to the
west and we going
back again
I heard a voice at the
dusk of day
Saying Be gentle
brother be gentle
and pray
It's a long road it's
a long and narrow way
If I can't work up to
you you'll surely have
to work down to me
someday
