Been Too Long On The Road
Bread



Always look so good on the outside
When you get to believin' it's true
Then you know
That you're on your way
People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky
You've got ev'rything you want, but you don't
Yet you dare not say
Go downtown people runnin' around in ground
They climb slowly draggin' you downtown horns
Make a dent in your mind plush rooms
Make a blindin' your eye to see
Blindin' me
Light
Lovely light
Won't ya' shine
In my window
Love
Precious love
Won't ya' fill
Ev'ry room
Been too long on the road

Maybe cynics veins are my life blood
Maybe bitin' the hand that I feed so I'll try
Try to understand
What it is that devours your freedom
Makes you drop what you used to hold in your heart
All the things you planned
Go upstairs with a someone who says she cares
Like the devil she does what comes ever into your mind?
Then gone, leavin' you with the coldest room
Oldest gloom
Warm, won't you be
Please be there
In my winter
Love
Precious love
Won't ya' come
Full circle
Been too long on the road

How can I do this to myself?
Have I taken leave of my senses?
What kind of changes make a man
Want to tear down all his fences
Whoa, I'd like to know
Home
Ever home
How could I
Ever doubt you
Love
Precious love
How could I
Live without you?
Been too long on the road
