LONG HARD ROAD 

Back when I was younger

The only thing I wanted to be

Was just a little older

Cause’ I thought that I’d be free

And my daddy used to tell me son

Don’t wish your life away

It will be gone before you know it, cherish each and every day

Because Life is a long hard road

Ya’ life is a long hard road

 Now all these years later, well I finally understand

Just what that he meant

By the words that he said

Cause’ as I’ve gotten older

With more responsibility

And I try to raise a family

With hungry mouths to feed, I’ve found

Life is a long hard road

Ya’ life is a long hard road

Some make it look easy

From the outside lookin’ in

Never showing their struggles

That’s about to do them in

Yet everyone is different and every ones the same

Cause’ everyone that’s living

Is playing the same game

And life is a long hard road

Ya’ life is a long hard road

Well I wish that I could go back

To those days I wished away

Back to the innocents of a child who could not see

Cause’ now when I think about

The days that’s passed me by

Well I hear those words of wisdom

And it sometimes makes me cry because

Life’s been a long hard road

Ya’ life’s been a long hard road
