I wore my boots out walkin? Poured my heart out talkin? I felt the pain & I broke the chain But I still got a long way to go Been on the road ?til tomorrow Been through the joys & the sorrows Came through the flood & I pulled through the mud But I still got a long way to go Been in the back-room dealin? Been on a long hook reelin? Crashed in the shed & I woke in a sunny bed & I still got a long way to go Been on the rails & big muddy I?ve crossed the trails rocky & rutted Been down the road a million miles But I still got a long way to go I?ve traveled near & traveled far I beat a hole in my guitar Crawled with the zeroes & I stood with my heroes & I still got a long way to go Been in the rain & on the run I worked a long day in the sun I slopped the pails & I beat the nails But I still got a long way to go I tried the a verse as the be verse I took the see verse to the chorus Rewrote & changed it Then rearranged it & I still got a long way to go I lost my way in darkest night I woke again & saw the light Opened the book & I . . took a look But I still got a long way to go Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man? He?s got to reach up his hand Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man? He?s got to reach out his hand & I still got a long way to go Still got a long way to go Still got a long way to go
