Electric Light Orchestra - Long Black Road - Текст песни

They used to tell me boy you ain't 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 couldn't find my way I didn't 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 wouldn't bring me happiness
	"You gotta work like a man in a real man's life
	You're 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
