V1.
Same old story,
I'm totally low.
Got a feelin' here that I think you know, know, know, know.
I'm tired of runnin'
And needing more time.
I been way too long on the losing side and I came to find...

CHORUS:
It's a long road for the good guys.
It's a long road for a simple man
To get a helping hand.
When all you got is a single shot
You do the best job that you can.
Cause it's a long road for a simple man.

V2.
We're brokenhearted
And barely whole.
There is little left that we can control, oh oh oh.
And we get so weary
Gettin' blood outta stone
But you push on through to the heart of you even though you know...

CHORUS:
It's a long road for the good guys.
It's a long road for a simple man
To get a helping hand.
When all you got is a single shot
You do the best job that you can.
Cause it's a long road for a simple man.
