They used to tell me, Boy, you aint goin nowhere With your cheap guitar and your big, long hair You gotta realise all your responsibilities You gotta get out to work and face reality.
You gotta get up in the morning, take your heavy load And you gotta keep goin down the long black road.
So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin I couldnt find my way, I didnt know what I was doin I saw a lot of people coming back the other way So I kept on goin when I heard them say,
You gotta get up in the morning, take your heavy load And you gotta keep goin down the long black road.
Long black road, long black road Long black road, long black road.
I made a lot of money, I was makin quite a mess But they all told me, money wouldnt bring me happiness You gotta work like a man in a real mans life Youre gonna have to take all the trouble and strife.
You gotta get up in the morning, take your heavy load And you gotta keep goin down the long black road.
You gotta get up in the morning, take your heavy load And you gotta keep goin down the long black road.
You gotta get up in the morning, take your heavy load And you gotta keep goin down the long black road.
