Long Lonely Road Lyrics - Valerie June

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 

4 wheels 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 hard-working 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

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
