Lyrics:

  • i wore my boots out walkin’
  • poured my heart out talkin’
  • i felt the pain & i broke the chain
  • but i still got a long way to go

  • been on the road ‘til tomorrow
  • been through the joys & the sorrows
  • came through the flood
  • & i pulled through the mud
  • but i still got a long way to go

  • been in the back-room dealin’
  • been on a long hook reelin’
  • crashed in the shed
  • & i woke in a sunny bed
  • & i still got a long way to go

  • been on the rails & big muddy
  • i’ve crossed the trails rocky & rutted
  • been down the road a million miles
  • but i still got a long way to go

  • i’ve traveled near & traveled far
  • i beat a hole in my guitar
  • crawled with the zeroes
  • & i stood with my heroes
  • & i still got a long way to go

  • been in the rain & on the run
  • i worked a long day in the sun
  • i slopped the pails
  • & i beat the nails
  • but i still got a long way to go

  • i tried the a verse as the b verse
  • i took the c verse to the chorus
  • rewrote & changed it
  • then rearranged it
  • & i still got a long way to go

  • i lost my way in darkest night
  • i woke again & saw the light
  • opened the book & i . . took a look
  • but i still got a long way to go

  • tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
  • he’s got to reach up his hand
  • tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
  • he’s got to reach out his hand
  • & i still got a long way to go
  • still got a long way to go
  • still got a long way to go
