Long Way To Go Lyrics

Corey Smith Long Way To Go

Graduated high school
Class of '96
Nameless face in the middle of a small town clique
No yellow tassle to adorn my gown
I barely made my pass
But momma sure was proud oh

They tried to tell me change was gonna come
But I was frieightened by the thought of my own evolution
Jumped in the car, crunk up the radio
Shook off my inner sense and lost my self control
Yeah I had a long, long way to go
Long, long way to go
The whole world in front of me
And time moving so slow
I had a long, long way to go

Well I fell off track somewhere along the way
Chained all my dreams to a mirror and a razor blade
Momma said this is just a part of growing up
And I've spent my last five years trying to straighten up
But I got a long, long way to go
A long, long way to go
I still got my demons
Yeah, they're knocking at my door
I've got a long, long way to go

Momma died three years just yesterday
And I placed a rose beneath that tree where she laid
Then I said a prayer there in her memory
In some sad strange way it reminded me
That I got a long, long way to go
A long, long way to go
To live is to stuggle
And to struggle is to grow
You know, I got a long, long way to go yeah
A long, long way to go
A long, long way to go no no
The whole world in front of me
And time moving so slow
I got a long, long way to go
