Long, Long Journey

Sometimes I feel so weary

Traveling through life all alone

Sometimes I feel so weary

Traveling through life all alone

It's a long, long journey

And I can't make it on my own

There's seven million people

Living right here in this town

There's seven million people

Living right here in this town

I don't need but one person

So, baby, why won't you, please, stay around?

When the sun turns blue

And the moon shines bright all day

When the sun turns blue

And the moon shines bright all day

That's the day, sweet mama

I'll let you run away

When the rivers stop flowing

And the trees lay down and die

I said, when the rivers stop flowing

And the trees lay down and die

When the stars stop shining

Then I'll say my love's goodbye

Now if I've been misbehaving

I promise you I'll stop

But if you quit me, mama

I swear I'll blow my top

It's a long, long journey

But I'll make it before I'm blue

This world can't throw me

Mama, if I still have you
