Long Long Road

Long Long Road           music and lyrics by john hostetter  2012

G                                            D           C                 G
It's a long long road from a boy to a man from a girl to woman
              F                         G                               D      C     G       C D     
And we did what we can   moving on down this long long road.

Here we stand by the side of the road wondering how we made it
with this heavy load   moving on down this long long road

                Am                   D                       G                            Em
                There were smiles and joy tears and pain I was singing a song in the pouring rain
                Am      D             G
                on this long long road
                with the earth below and the sky above  learning how to live and laugh and love
                on this long long road

well it's not that far from the head to the heart but it sure can make a difference
where you choose to start  moving on down this long long road

we all grow up and we are who we are   it's really quite amazing
that we've come this far moving on down this long long road

                there were twists in the road wrong and right I was singing a song in the dark of
                the night
on this long long road
                had my feet on the ground head in a cloud living my secrets right out loud
                on this long long road

                                Dm7                                                                     G
                                Got some pictures in a yearbook from way back when
                                Dm7                                                                            G
                                I take it from the shelf and I smile at them now and then
                                C                                                 Am           D7
                                and I wonder who we'd be if we did it all again

solo / verse chords

                                got some pictures in a yearbook from way back when
                                I take it from the shelf and I smile at them now and then
                                and I wonder who we'd be if we did it all again

it's a fact of life that we're here then we're gone and a simple twist of fate
let's us carry on   moving on down this long long road

so we come together and embrace what's ours and we thank the lord
and our lucky stars   shining on down this long long road

                i've been on top of the world i've been scared to death i'll be singing a song with my
                very last breath

                on this long long road
                i've been flat on my back over the moon but I found my way home yeah and none
                too soon

                on this long long road

It's a long long road from a boy to a man from a girl to woman
And we did what we can moving on down this long long road
moving on down this long long road
