Long Way To Go

Well, I met old Wailin back in '79

When I was in my teens

When I told him what was on my mind

He said son you don't wanna feel like me

There's a lot 'bout my life that you don't know

And boy it sure ain't good

The big wheels will drive you crazy

And the highway will make you do things you never would

When you're living in the spotlight

It's another world every night

It's a different town everyday

You pay your dues if you're gonna play

The only thing that makes it worthwhile

Is a big crowd going wild

But you gotta long way to go

You gotta long, long way to go

But I've had this in my blood since the day

I held a guitar in my hand

And it wasn't long till Baumann was the home

Of another cowboy band

And too cold at home put me on the road

And I know exactly how he felt

Back then how was I to know

That the hands of fate for me were already dealt

Now I'm living in the spotlight

It's another town every night

It's a different world everyday

You pay your dues if you're gonna play

The only thing that makes it worthwhile

Is a big crowd going wild

But I've gotta long way to go

I gotta long, long way to go

A long, long way to go
