It's a long way back down a lonely road
And the cold hard facts make for a heavy load
The forgiveness you ask could heal your soul
But it's a long way back yeah it's a long way back

And I might let you in and I might let you twist
Pardon every sin seal the bargain with a kiss
Too much has passed for me to walk you through this
And it's a long way back yeah it's a long way back

Wake up the world has changed and nothing is quite the same
A cold and bitter wind is hot on your heals old friend
[ guitar ]
It's a long way back from where I stand
You're clean off the map knee deep in no man's land
You ain't got no one to ask for a helping hand
And it's a long way back yeah it's a long way back
Long way back it's a long way back
