[Chorus]
How long is the Road?
How long is the Road?
That leads me to the promised mother lode
Where I can be free to mend my tired bones
And lay my head to rest
How long is the road
[Verse]
How much do I owe?
How much do I owe?
My mouth is dry and all my blood is sold
Am I being played by the quick-tongued predators?
By the going market rate
How much do I owe?
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
When you know whatâs yours is someone elseâs keep
How can you frame the victim as the cause?
When you turn the lamp down low
How do you sleep?
[Chorus]
How long is the Road?
How long is the Road?
That leads me to the promised mother lode
Where I can be free to mend my tired bones
And lay my head to rest
How long is the road
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
How will I live?
How will I live?
Iâm all tapped out with no more s to give
This is a case of survival
If I make it home tonight
How will I live?
[Chorus]
How long is the Road?
How long is the Road?
That leads me to the promised mother lode
Where I can be free to mend my tired bones
And lay my head to rest
How long is the road
[Outro]
How long is the Road?
How long is the Road?
Thatâs driving me to sensory overload
Where I can be safe to call on someone if I fall?
Iâve no idea how long it takes to walk at my own pace
How long is the road?
How long is the road?
How long is the road?
How long is the road?
