I wore my boots out walking
Poured my heart out talking
I felt the pain and I broke the chain
But I still got a long way to go

Been on the road 'till tomorrow
Through the joys and the sorrows
Came through the flood
Pulled through the mud
But I still got a long way to go

Been in the back-room dealing
On a long hook reeling
Plowed through the shed
Woke in a sunny bed
But I still got a long way to go

Been on the rails and big muddy
I’ve crossed the trails rocky and rutted
Been down the road a million miles
And I still got a long way to go

I've traveled near and traveled far
I beat a hole in my guitar
Crawled with the zeroes
Stood with my heroes
And I still got a long way to go
Been in the rain and on the run
I worked a long day in the sun
I slopped the pails
And beat the nails
But I still got a long way to go

I sang the A verse as the B verse
Took the C verse to the chorus
Rewrote and changed it
Rearranged it
But I still got a long way to go

I lost my way in darkest night
I woke again and saw the light
Opened the book and 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

Lord, lord, lord
Tell me what
What is the soul of a man?
He’s got to reach out his hand
And I still got a long way to go

I got a long way to go
Got a long way to go
I got a long way to go
Got a long way to go
I got a long way to go
Got a long way to go

And I still have a long way to go
