lyrics
oh no hesitate how long will we wait
to go back once again
kick the hate and hug the sin
come along join in be free once again
be one with the common mind
healthy in spirit with strong rhine
nothing split down the middle
and no one gets left behind
it's a long way back
been a while, been a time
gotz to grab me a piece of pine
get back to where i been
where the backwood jubilees spin
tall tales of skippin stones
robbery of the bag of bones
of my sordid dreams nothing is as it seems
living my life like its on film with nothin in between
it's a long way back
it's a long way back
it's a long way back
toeing the line
chasing the speed
getting down
taking what ya need
just to get by
in this reality dome
black n white pictures of my home
giddyup and giddygo
around the bend here we go
getting stuck once again
nothing changes no one wins
it's a long way back
it's a long way back
it's a long way back
