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 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 Down a long hard road Down a long hard road I just keep going going going going
