Long Long Road

Hey now –
I see you got your bags all packed
And your ticket’s in your hand
Hey now –
Look who kept her hope intact
Waitin’ in the wings for her trip to the Promised Land
And oh, I guess you and I
Know all about new worlds
And how you’re never quite prepared
But you – well, you got a long, long road you’re travellin’ –
Gonna take you far far far away
Hey, say you got a long long road you’re travellin’
So just follow that track
Send a postcard back
And you’ll be okay

Hey now –
Guess you thought it out all right
How to make your life complete
Hey now –
Guess you found your shining knight
Funny all the things you can get on Lafayette Street
And oh, it just proves what I
Say about new worlds
And how it ain’t worth bein’ scared
‘Cause you – well, you got a long long road you’re travellin’ –
Gonna take you far far far away
Hey, say you got a long long road you’re travellin’
And if you feel unsure
Well, I been there before
And you’ll be okay now

Climbin’ over ev’ry mountain
Glidin’ over ev’ry sea
Op’nin’ ev’ry door
But never really sure
Exactly where the traps might be
Sleepin’ under scarlet sunsets
Or flyin’ at the highest speed –
Ready now or not
All the love you’ve got
Is all the love you’re gonna need!

‘Cause oh, well you got a long long road you’re travellin’ –
Gonna take you far far far away
Hey, say you got a long long road you’re travellin’ –
But just start right now
Don’t worry no more
Check the starboard bow –
Push away from the shore
And though the river’s wide
You gotta take that ride!
With someone by your side
You’re gonna be okay
