Long Way to Go

Graduated High School class of 96 Nameless face in the middle of the small town clique No yellow tassel to adorn my gown I barely made my pass but momma sure was proud oh They tried to tell me change was gonna come But I was frightened by the thought of my own evolution Jumped in the car, crunk up the radio Shook off my innocence and lost my self control Yeah I had a long, long way to go Long, long way to go The whole world in front of me and time moving so slow I had a long, long way to go Well I fell off track somewhere along the way Chained all my dreams of a mirror and a razor blade Momma said I guess its just a part of growing up And I?ve spent my last five years trying to straighten up But I?ve got a long, long way to go A long, long way to go I?ve still got my deamons yeah they?re knocking at my door I?ve got a long, long way to go Momma died 3 years ago just yesterday And I placed a rose beneath that tree where she lay Then I said a prayer there in here memory And in some sad strange way it reminded me That I?ve got a long, long way to go A long, long way to go To live is to struggle and to struggle is to grow You know I?ve got a long, long way to go A long, long way to go A long, long way to go The whole world in front of me and time moving so slow I?ve got a long, long way to go --- Long Way to Go - Corey Smith
