Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road

Big old snake o' red tail lights
Lookin' for a drain
Pretty red, like diamond bright
become your ball and chain.

If you ever reach the other side
it will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes
you better listen what I say.

Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load.

Fat cat screamin' up above
'cause he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
he kick your chains and make you dance.

Dance around his daydream
'till he gets to fly away
you find a dagger in your back
you better listen what I say.

Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load.

Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Hard is the road.

Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load.

Long is the time, and hard is the road.
