It's a long, long way 'Cause I've been there before It's a long, long way And I've been there before You prob'ly won't take no advice from me I never took none myself, you see It's just when you get older You'd like to pass some on but nobody's listening And it's a long, long way 'Cause I've been there before It's a long, long way And I've been there before Why do we make the same mistakes Year after year, tear after tear? Just when we've learned a lesson or two It's the time when our life's almost through And it's a long, long way 'Cause I've been there before It's a long, long way And I've been there before I ain't tryin' to be no saint Shoot I ain't even often right But I'm still here fightin' that good ol' fight So the only thing I'll say Don't give up on your dreams Or they will give up on you And it's a long, long way 'Cause I've been there before It's a long, long way And I've been there before Thanks for takin' time to listen to an old man Your time is a valuable thing And I ain't tryin' to preach, I'm only passin' by And I hope you like the song that I sing And it's a long, long way 'Cause I've been there before It's a long, long way And I've been there before And it's a long, long way 'Cause I've been there before And I don't think I'm goin' there no more
Colors burn bright ? They burn pictures ? so bright
All these things about me you never can tell Make me sleep so badly ?
Turn the dial on my words I can feel them fall short ? Turn the dial try my love, try my love Wash these hands ? Turn the dial on my words
Love can't stay here ?
These steps shadow Life's will gone shallow
All these things about me you never can tell Make me sleep so badly visible friend ? Make me sleep so badly visible friend ?
Turn the dial on my words I can feel them fall short ? Turn the dial shine the light, shine the light Watch these hands move apart Turn the dial on my words
