I got a feeling everything is gonna go down hill And it's gonna go fast So I, I started picturing the promises in someone else's greener grass The wind was blowing like a thousand angels They got something to say And then the charms quit charming And then the wind went dying on me It went dying on me You see it's gonna start raining now And there ain't nothing 'bout it we could do So I'ma go my way and you can go 'bout yours And do whatever with whatever you think is true You see, see I've been where the demons walk And I listened to the spirit talk And you're nothing like me and I sure ain't nothing like you But it gets cold when you have to Take the long way home, the long way home And there ain't no street going down my path But there ain't no hand that's gonna make me fold And troubles come and go and they're gone for now But I feel I'm coming back around I gotta feeling everything just went down hill And it sure went fast So I, I started picking up the promises And I went walking away from the past That demon sitting on my shoulder still talks to me now and then But I'm doing my best to not blame you And I'm doing my best to not give in It gets cold when you have to take The long way home, the long way home And there ain't no street going down my path But there ain't no hand that's gonna make me fold It gets cold when you have to take The long way home, the long way home And there ain't nobody gonna help you now It's the simple things you learned from being alone And troubles come and go and they're gone for now
