[00:00.309]Valerie June-Long Lonely Road
[00:01.228]Pile in the church pew rows
[00:04.406]Gran made the best yeast rolls
[00:08.191]Gospel of stories told
[00:11.371]Bout the one way to save your soul
[00:15.657]Drag out the old guitar
[00:19.543]Gas up that old ford car
[00:23.220]We're gonna hit the dusty road
[00:27.53]4wheels can barely load
[00:30.588]It's been a long it's been a long long long long long long lonely road
[00:42.484]Pops made his work in dust
[00:45.815]But his hardworking hands fed us
[00:49.847]Sun up 'til sun sank down
[00:53.530]His body worked to the ground
[00:57.413]Folks thought we had it made
[01:01.40]Cause we always kept a face
[01:05.28]Meanwhile there's bills to pay
[01:08.157]And the stack growing every day
[01:11.885]It's been a long it's been a long long
[01:16.773]Been a long long long long lonely road
[01:25.397]My my my
[01:26.661]It's been a long been a long long
[01:31.584]Been a long long long long lonely road
[02:11.479]Soon as I turned 18
[02:15.110]I packed up the grass is green
[02:18.846]New York or Tennessee
[02:22.121]Where I am is where I'll be
[02:25.604]God tell me about your plans
[02:29.389]And I'll find a place to land
[02:33.471]Surely there'd be a way
[02:37.53]To move towards a brighter day
[02:40.763]It's been a long it's been a long long
[02:45.202]Been a long long long long lonely road
[02:53.675]My my my
[02:55.346]It's been a long been a long long
[02:59.734]Been a long long long long lonely road
[03:08.366]My my my
[03:09.576]It's been a long been a long long
[03:12.298]Been a long long long long lonely road
[03:25.66]One person's path unpaid
[03:28.698]Went towards the path that saved
[03:32.533]These are the songs you sing
[03:35.757]In the search for the grass that's green
[03:40.142]It's been a long been a long long long lonely road
