Its a long road running son you better get going
Head for the sun although the prize ain't showing
Half tank of gas and cigarette with smoke
Don't fix something if you know it ain't broke
I said it's a long road running if you don't get on your horse and go
Dad always said you gotta work in the fields
Don't pay your taxes if they won't pay for your meals
Don't let the man in the suit tell you what to do
Just wants to see what he can get out of you
I said it's a long road running if you don't get on your horse and go
I said it's a long road running if you don't get on your horse and go
Mom always told me be polite and behave
And I still do and visit her at her grave
And dad always told me don't forget what they did
Don't worry dad they'll regret they have lived
I said it's a long road running if you don't get on your horse and go
