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
& 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 B verse
I took the C 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?
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?
Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He's got to reach out his hand
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
