Long Way to Go

Corey Smith

Graduated High School class of 96

Nameless face in the middle of the small town clique

No yellow tassel 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 frightened by the thought of my own evolution

Jumped in the car, crunk up the radio

Shook off my innocence 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 of a mirror and a razor blade

Momma said I guess its just a part of growing up

And I?ve spent my last five years trying to straighten up

But I?ve got a long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

I?ve still got my deamons yeah they?re knocking at my door

I?ve got a long, long way to go

Momma died 3 years ago just yesterday

And I placed a rose beneath that tree where she lay

Then I said a prayer there in here memory

And in some sad strange way it reminded me

That I?ve got a long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

To live is to struggle and to struggle is to grow

You know I?ve got a long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

A long, long way to go

The whole world in front of me and time moving so slow

I?ve got a long, long way to go
