Lord, I've come a long way   And here's what I gotta say   I've paid but I had to pay   To play what I had to play      I was born in the country   Straight in the town   And I'll go anywhere   To see what's going down      I've seen cowards and hero   As fast as the wind   I go down any road there is   To see what's around the bend      And girls, I've had me a few   Some were small and some were cute   I've tasted the honey and dew   Lord, I will be with You      I was born in the country   Straight in the town   And I'd go anywhere   To see what's going down      I've seen cowards and hero   As fast as the wind   I go down any road there is   To see what's around the bend      Can you let me rest my   Weary head, weary head   Let's find out what this life is   Before we're dead   Before we're dead      Lord, I've come a long way   And here's what I have to say   I've paid what I had to pay   Lord, now I'm on my way      I was born in the country   Straight in the town   Well I'll go anywhere   To see what's going down      I've seen cowards and hero   As fast as the wind   I go down any road there is   To see what's around the bend
