Long Dark Road

[Verse 1] Yeah, I got problems Worse ones than Saddam had And I, and I, I really got em bad (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) It's like there's no end to this dark tunnel that I'm walking through I'm praying on my knees and I don't know who I'm talking to (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) I'm in my own grave again, cutting through the rubble With these blisters on my hands from the same old shovel, and I (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) And just when I thought that I hit the rock bottom I broke through, and found me a lower low to go to (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) Right now, I feel like I need to just sing [Hook] Help me breathe One last breath before you go (You're alright, it'll all be done before you know) Cause I'm alone and afraid, and once you're gone I just don't know (You'll be alright) (That long dark road will guide you) (That long dark road will guide you) [Verse 2] Uh, I'm pacing in this damn cage Trying to fix a fatal wound with a band-aid (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) And you better believe it, I been cold And I been hurt, and this storm is man-made (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) Cause it's gone, and it's here Then it's far, then it's near And the moment that I feel like I done handled it It all disappears and I cry (Hold on, baby boy just listen to the old song) (Here it comes, let me sing it out) And if I don't discover a way to escape Soon, from this treacherous place and the hell I can't face I'm giving up (It's just getting to where it isn't worth another try, and so I say) [Hook] It's so dark, and so cold (That long dark road will guide you) [Outro] And you'd be a millionaire, if the tears you've cried were made of gold When the bottom falls out of it all, and Oh, that wound, you never know it could hurt so bad (That long dark road will guide you) The only hope we have is that (That long dark road will guide you)
