I'm gonna walk across the desert, 'til I'm in my right mind.I won't even thing about, what I left behindNothing back there anyway, that I can call my ownGo back home, leave me aloneIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayEver since the British, burned the White House downThere's a bleeding wound, in the heart of townI saw you drinking, from an empty cupI saw you buried, and I saw you dug upIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayLook down angel, from the skiesHelp my, weary soul to riseI kissed her cheek, I dragged your frown(?)You broke my heart, I was your friend 'til now.It's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayIn the courtyard, of the golden sunYou stand and fight, or you break and runYou went and lost, your lovely headFor a drink of wine, and a crust of breadIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayWe neutered(?) and we plundered, on distant shoresWhy is my share, not equal to yoursYour father left you, your mother tooEven death has, washed it's hands of youIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayThis is hard country, to stay alive inBlades are everywhere, and they're breaking my skinI'm armed to the hilt, and I'm struggling hardYou won't get out, of here unscarred.It's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayYou got too many lovers, waiting at the wallAbout a thousand tons, I couldn't count them allYesterday, I could've thrown them all in the seaToday, even one, may be too much for meIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayCan't walk them baby, you could do no wrongPut your arms around me, where they belongI won't take you under, for the ghost to ride(?)Lay my hands all over ya, tie you to my sideIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayI've got a heavy stacked woman, with a smile on her faceAnd she has crowned, my soul with graceIm still hurting from an arrow, that pierced my chestI'm gonna have to take my head, and bury it between your breastsIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayBeen dark all night, but now it's dawnThe moving finger, is moving onYou can guard me, while I sleepPiss away, the tears I weepIt's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me somedayI love women, and she loves menWe've been to the west, and we going back againI heard a voice, at the dusk of daySaying, "Be gentle brother, be gentle and pray."It's a long road, it's a long and narrow wayIf I cant work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday
