Mark Chesnutt - Long Way To Go lyrics

Well, I met old Wailin back in '79 When I was in my teens When I told him what was on my mind He said son you don't wanna feel like me There's a lot 'bout my life that you don't know And boy it sure ain't good The big wheels will drive you crazy And the highway will make you do things you never would When you're living in the spotlight It's another world every night It's a different town everyday You pay your dues if you're gonna play The only thing that makes it worthwhile Is a big crowd going wild But you gotta long way to go You gotta long, long way to go But I've had this in my blood since the day I held a guitar in my hand And it wasn't long till Baumann was the home Of another cowboy band And too cold at home put me on the road And I know exactly how he felt Back then how was I to know That the hands of fate for me were already dealt Now I'm living in the spotlight It's another town every night It's a different world everyday You pay your dues if you're gonna play The only thing that makes it worthwhile Is a big crowd going wild But I've gotta long way to go I gotta long, long way to go A long, long way to go
