This Old, Long Road
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

This old, long road

Have you been a wanderin'
Down that old long road
Somewhere in the Sun
Forever on the run
And have you been a wondering
About the things you never knowed
Will you ever make it off
This old, long road

Is there something inside you
That keeps you on your way
Another country mile
And another game to play
Just another reason
To be right on your way
And the circle is unbroken
On another sunny day

Me I'm just a joker
With 100 bills to pay
I used to smoke and drink a lot
But that was another day
I had to bring it to a stop
Or I'd be dead for sure
Another one down
On the dark side of town
Eyes to the ground
Just don't make a sound

The weather is freezing and wet for a reason
So you'll never forget the change of the season
But if you should falter
Or if you should fail
And if you can't hear
The 4 Winds when they wail

There comes a Time
Somewhere down the line
If you lose your mind
You'll come back in time
Never cower never fear
Magic powers of Everclear
Come on over, water is good
Welcome to the neighborhood
Lots of people, so they say
All got lost along the way

That's not true of me and you
Magic mirror, tell me, do
What's it that makes you love me
The way that I love you

That Old, Long Road still beckons
I'll go that way, I reckon
But as all things shell come to pass
So, tomorrow brings the past
Before you know it, count to 10
You're living a past life again
If you can't take it, just say when
The circle is always in spin

I'll see you on the Old, Long Road
Where Angels fear to tread
And oh, the mighty that have fallen
To the living and the dead
They are gone but not forgotten
Till the rivers all turn red

Goodbye, farewell, this Old, Long Road
Is taking me again
Somewhere far away from here
I really can't say when
Or if I might ever return
Or pass this way again
This Old, Long Road still rises up
To meet you in The End
