Long Road Lyrics

The lights went out I started to shout but the words died in my throat

There was no point in calling out the devil owned the house

I gave the man a dirty look that's the reason they let me out

It was the last thing I remember before the lights went out

The long road ahead has turns the best is yet to come I guess

It takes a clown to catch a con they both get you going down

There ain't no use in getting mad the ones you want to hate don't care

They're never there when it gets late they ran before the anthem played

See the light how it moves

Just like the thoughts you lose

See the places that you leave

See the eyes of the ones you need

The long night past without a kiss the laughter burned in its place

You know she never left alone there was always one of them around

The darkness comes without a gun it needs no help to get it done

Peace won't help you now you better find some help somehow

They broke the one who wouldn't fight he couldn't be allowed to stop

The march of progress to the bank where everyone left their best chance

The wait was over for the rest it was the only time to rest

Before you face the final test and there's no time for happiness

I wish I could go right now but there are things I have to do

It would be great if it could be the one time I was wrong about you

Spin the wheel and place your bets lady luck is at your back

You find out that you can't go back to where it all began

Put your feet back on the ground let your hair fall all around

Sing the words of your favourite song and it will all be gone

Close the door and let it end I won't be back this way again

Tell the ones that I love that I had nothing bad to say
