The Road's Still Long

Growing up as a young boy

Sometimes can be rough

At six years old I was thinkin'

Seven would be just enough

But I was wrong

Ooh I was wrong, yeah

Ten years old and I'm growin'

Thinkin' I got it sussed

Mama said you'll be a fine young man

I thought I already was

But I was wrong

Ooh I was wrong

'Cause when you get where you're going

The road's still long

Eighteen years I'm a rebel

Thinkin' I'm pretty tough

Daddy said you got a lot to learn

I thought that I'd learned enough

But I was wrong

Ooh I was wrong, yeah

Twenty-five was a good time

Comin' into my own

Climbed the mountain and I reached for the sky

I thought that I had it all

But I was wrong

Ooh I was wrong

'Cause when you get where you're going

The road's still long

(The road's still long)

When you get where you're going

The road's still long

(The road's still long)

They all try to tell you but who are they to say

'Cause the best things that you learn you find out on your way

No time for feelin' sorry just time for being strong

When you get where your going

The road's still long

Now I see where I come from

Now I see where I am

Now I see that you never really know

So you just gotta do the best you can

That ain't wrong

Ooh that ain't wrong no

'Cause when you get where you're going

The road's still long

(The road's still long)

When you get where you're going

The road's still long

(The road's still long)

When you get where you're going, yeah
