How Long Is the Road

How long is the Road?

How long is the Road?

That leads me to the promised mother lode

Where I can be free to mend my tired bones

And lay my head to rest

How long is the road

How much do I owe?

How much do I owe?

My mouth is dry and all my blood is sold

Am I being played by the quick-tongued predators?

By the going market rate

How much do I owe? 

How do you sleep?

How do you sleep?

When you know what’s yours is someone else’s keep

How can you frame the victim as the cause?

When you turn the lamp down low

How do you sleep? 

How long is the Road?

How long is the Road?

That leads me to the promised mother lode

Where I can be free to mend my tired bones

And lay my head to rest

How long is the road

How will I live?

How will I live?

I’m all tapped out with no more fucks to give

This is a case of survival

If I make it home tonight

How will I live?

How long is the Road?

How long is the Road?

That leads me to the promised mother lode

Where I can be free to mend my tired bones

And lay my head to rest

How long is the road

How long is the Road?

How long is the Road?

That’s driving me to sensory overload

Where I can be safe to call on someone if I fall?

I’ve no idea how long it takes to walk at my own pace

How long is the road?
