Valerie June-Long Lonely Road Pile in the church pew rows Gran made the best yeast rolls Gospel of stories told Bout the one way to save your soul Drag out the old guitar Gas up that old ford car We're gonna hit the dusty road 4wheels can barely load It's been a long it's been a long long long long long long lonely road Pops made his work in dust But his hardworking hands fed us Sun up 'til sun sank down His body worked to the ground Folks thought we had it made Cause we always kept a face Meanwhile there's bills to pay And the stack growing every day It's been a long it's been a long long Been a long long long long lonely road My my my It's been a long been a long long Been a long long long long lonely road Soon as I turned 18 I packed up the grass is green New York or Tennessee Where I am is where I'll be God tell me about your plans And I'll find a place to land Surely there'd be a way To move towards a brighter day It's been a long it's been a long long Been a long long long long lonely road My my my It's been a long been a long long Been a long long long long lonely road My my my It's been a long been a long long Been a long long long long lonely road One person's path unpaid Went towards the path that saved These are the songs you sing In the search for the grass that's green It's been a long been a long long long lonely road
