It's a Hard Road
Billy came from Houston, saw the writing on the wall Hopped up on a northbound, rode it straight to Arkansas Had some family living there doing fair-to-good Gonna take a room, shack up a while, lay down that steel and wood
It's a long road It's a hard road And it's a lonely road To pull that heavy load
“Your mama's eyes shine in your face, same worry and same glow She carried with her out of here some 16 years ago It was raining when she let out, thunder rolling in the west Thursday night to Little Rock, skin tight against her dress
It's a long road It's a hard road And it's a lonely road To pull that heavy load
“Well, come on here Billy boy and sup with us tonight And tell of things unknown to us and set the story right.” Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com “I grew up on the Gulf shore a fur piece down the way And I did what I had to do that brought me here today.”
On that long road On that hard road And it's a lonely road To pull that heavy load
Revenge is best served cold, but you take it when you can Don't hesitate, make no mistake, get up and make your stand
“Early morning when she comes home after working 'till the light She'll find the mess she never left and know it isn't right That man of hers was no good, I saw the writing on the wall And last night when the time was right I let the hammer fall.”
It's a long road It's a hard road And it's a lonely road To pull that heavy load
