Bagel, snake, a red tail, lights
Looking for a drain
Pretty red like diamond bride
Become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side
It will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes
You better listen what I say
Long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load, yeah
Fat cat screaming up above
Coz he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
He kick your chains
And make you dance
Dance around his daydream
Till he gets to fly away
You find a dagger in your back
You better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Oh, long is the time
And hard is the road (hard is the road)
Oh, long is the time
And hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Long is the time
And hard is the road
Looking for a drain
Pretty red like diamond bride
Become your ball and chain
If you ever reach the other side
It will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes
You better listen what I say
Long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load, yeah
Fat cat screaming up above
Coz he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
He kick your chains
And make you dance
Dance around his daydream
Till he gets to fly away
You find a dagger in your back
You better listen what I say
Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Oh, long is the time
And hard is the road (hard is the road)
Oh, long is the time
And hard is the road
Everybody looking for a place
To put down their heavy load
Long is the time
And hard is the road
