[00:11.81]They used to tell me boy you ain't goin' nowhere
[00:17.59]With your cheap guitar and your big long hair
[00:23.77]You gotta realize all your responsibilities
[00:29.48]You gotta get out to work and face reality
[00:32.68]
[00:35.25]You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
[00:38.60]And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
[00:42.94]
[00:47.54]So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin
[00:53.90]I couldn't find my way I didn't know what I was doin'
[00:59.81]I saw a lot of people coming back the other way
[01:05.54]So I kept on goin' when I heard them say
[01:09.84]
[01:11.50]You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
[01:14.51]And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
[01:20.60]
[01:50.22]Long black road
[01:53.34]Long black road
[01:54.72]
[02:02.14]Long black road
[02:05.42]Long black road
[02:06.87]
[02:09.14]I made a lot of money I was makin' quite a mess
[02:14.60]But they all told me money wouldn't bring me happiness
[02:20.65]You gotta work like a man in a real man's life
[02:26.90]You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife
[02:30.00]
[02:32.54]You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
[02:35.74]And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
[02:41.51]You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
[02:44.70]And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
[02:50.39]You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load
[02:53.72]And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road
[02:58.19]
[03:05.15]Long black road
[03:14.29]Long black road
