This Road Is Long

This Road Is Long - Stuart A. Staples

Stuart：

This road is long and

There's always another town

They said we couldn't run forever

But for my life I'll try

Just to be with you

Is all I have

Just to be with you

Is all I have

Maria：

I get tired of travelin'

Sometimes I just wanna go home

I get so tired of hangin' around

Just wanna put my feet down

Stuart：

Will you let me down

You're just waitin'

This road is long and

There's always another town

You can put your feet down

I could get a job

Maria：

You say we could run forever

But there's nothing left on the way

Those dreams just seem to build their walls in front of us

Stuart：

Just to be with you

Is all I have

Maria：

Don't you ever think that I didn't want it all

And don't you ever say

I put my hands in to the flames

Knowing I couldn't back away

And I burned myself

I hurt myself

Stuart：

I saw you running

I couldn't help

But to watch you for myself

I put my hands into the flames

But I don't feel them

Just enough self for my doubt

To flee it all

This road is long and

There's always another town

Maria：

This road is long and

There's always another town
