The Long Road Lyrics – Jimmy Barnes
raged all night against the dying light
Blinded by the break of the day
I never lay down always put up a fight
I never stopped running away
I was a child growing up so fast
Hoping the fear that I felt would pass
Trouble and pain it was all the same
Live or die didn’t care anyway
Never told
Didn’t know…
I was a wild young man on a mission
Money, fame and few fine women
Said “it’s my life and I’m gonna live it”
(Ahhh Ahhh)
Now it’s *** time I paid for the sinnin’
Prayin’ all night, but won’t be forgiven
So I hit the long road to perdition
(Ahhh Ahhh)
I ain’t coming back
Growing up fast but the pain still lasted
That’s why I learned how to fight
Busted up jaws and broken hearts
Couldn’t see the wrong from the right
Saw a whole lotta not so good
More than anybody ever should
Never crawled once never backed away
I didn’t see
Inside of me
I was a wild young man on a mission
Money, fame and few fine women
Said “it’s my life and I’m gonna live it”
(Ahhh Ahhh)
Now it’s *** time I paid for the sinnin’
Prayin’ all night, but won’t be forgiven
So I hit the long road to perdition
(Ahhh Ahhh)
I ain’t coming back
