Long Way To Go 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 â??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
