Lord I've come a long way, and here's what I gotta say
I've paid but I had to pay, to play what I had to play
I was born in the country, strayed in to town
And I'm going anywhere, to see what's going down
I've seen cowards and hero's as fast as the wind
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend

Girls I've had me a few, some were small and some were cute
I've tasted the honey and dew, Lord I will be with you
I was born in the country, strayed in to town
And I go anywhere, to see what's going down
I've seen coward's and hero's as fast as the wind
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend

You let me rest my weary head, weary head
Let's find out, what this life is before we're dead
Before we're dead

Lord I've come a long way, and here's what I had to say
I've paid what I had to pay, Lord now I'm on my way
I was born in the country, strayed in to town
And I go anywhere, to see what's going down
I've seen cowards and hero's as fast as the wind
I go down any road there is, to see what's around the bend
