Long Black Road Lyrics

by Electric Light Orchestra

They used to tell me boy you aint goin nowhere

With your cheap guitar and your big long hair

You gotta realize all your responsibilities

You gotta get out to work and face reality



You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

And you gotta keep goin down the long black road



So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin

I couldnt find my way I didnt know what I was doin

I saw a lot of people coming back the other way

So I kept on goin when I heard them say



"you gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

And you gotta keep goin down the long black road"



I made a lot of money I was makin quite a mess

But they all told me money wouldnt bring me happiness

"you gotta work like a man in a real mans life

Youre gonna have to take all the trouble and strife"



You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load

And you gotta keep goin down the long black road
