Lyrics This Road Is Long - Stuart A. Staples

Stuart:
This road is long and
There's always another town
They said we couldn't run forever
But for my life I'll try

Just to be with you
Is all I have
Just to be with you
Is all I have

Maria:
I get tired of travelin'
Sometimes I just wanna go home
I get so tired of hangin' around
Just wanna put my feet down

Stuart:
Will you let me down
You're just waitin'
This road is long and
There's always another town
You can put your feet down
I could get a job

Maria:
You say we could run forever
But there's nothing left on the way
Those dreams just seem to build their walls in front of us

Stuart:
Just to be with you
Is all I have

Maria:
Don't you ever think that I didn't want it all
And don't you ever say
I put my hands in to the flames
Knowing I couldn't back away
And I burned myself
I hurt myself

Stuart:
I saw you running
I couldn't help
But to watch you for myself
I put my hands into the flames
But I don't feel them
Just enough self for my doubt
To flee it all

This road is long and
There's always another town

Maria:
This road is long and
There's always another town
