lyrics version 1
Allright [Spoken]
You meet a lot of travellers on the road that winds through life
Some hands hold the light of love, some hands conceal a knife
Some friends stand behind you, some lie right to your face
I don’t have time for looking back, I’ve got to run this race
Some receive salvation and they love you for your prayers
Some resent the road you’ve laid and claim the work was theirs
Some people like to put you down ‘cos they know you won’t fight back
Some folks speak of love and peace but their heart is cold and black
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road I’m travelling on
Down a long hard road and I keep going going going going
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road that I’ve been on
Down a long hard road and I keep going going going
Some people never understand the road you’re travelling on
Some people hate you while you live, some love you when you’re gone
Forget about your reputation, Satan’s gonna shake it up
Some people don’t know truth from lies so they just make it up
Alright now
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road I’m travelling on
Down a long hard road and I keep going going going going
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road that I’ve been on
Down a long hard road I just keep going going going going
It's
It’s great to feel that love for all those people that you know
But if they change direction wish them well and let them go
Y' know it made me sad to lose so many friends along the way
But the road I’m walking on it gets more narrow every day, yeah
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road I’m travelling on
Down a long hard road I just keep going going going going
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road that I’ve been on
Down a long hard road I just keep going going going going
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road I’m travelling on
Down a long hard road I just keep going going going going
Down a long hard road
Down a long hard road
Down a long hard road I just keep going going going going
You meet a lot of travellers on the road that winds through life
Some hands hold the light of love, some hands conceal a knife
Some friends stand behind you, some lie right to your face
I don’t have time for looking back, I’ve got to run this race
Some receive salvation and they love you for your prayers
Some resent the road you’ve laid and claim the work was theirs

You meet a lot of travellers on the road that winds through life
Some hands hold the light of love, some hands conceal a knife
Some friends stand behind you, some lie right to your face
I don’t have time for looking back, I’ve got to run this race
Down a long hard road where I come from
Down a long hard road that I've been on
Down a long hard road, I just keep going going going
