The Long Way

The Long Way - Demun Jones Lyrics

Pack a bag you can tote or drag you ain't returning no time soon

Not until every corner's swept and you've collected every clue

Find yourself lost in the dark in unfamiliar parts

Stay grateful because you have the light in your mind and within your heart

As the great journey starts stay focused on your steps

Cause with each one a lesson's learned and it pulls you from the depths

Ignore those little voices, the ones that echo in your head

Those evil tones won't lead you home, they'll haunt you until the next



I never was an overnight success

My dreams outran the darkness when I slept

It's been the long way for me and in the end we'll finally see

Take me home every day I pray I took the long way

I took the long way, oh the long way

Heartaches and pain through my lifetime has shown me

Judgements not my place, you can see it on a sinner's face

And when I finish the race know I took the long way



The Devil came down to Georgia, I spun him and sent him back

Cause gambling here's illegal, son, and my soul's still in tact

The bag is packed for what lies ahead and you don't scare me at all

But nothing does and that's all because I'm not afraid of the fall

The signs they show me where to turn so I don't need a map

I'm armed with faith in a sinful place as I wander through the traps



Everything I ever needed has fallen in my hands

Food to eat and a bed to sleep in, a roof up over my head

Never took for granted all the seeds I planted and the time it took to grow

It's the long way or the wrong way, we all reap what we sow



I never was an overnight success

My dreams outran the darkness when I slept

It's been the long way for me and in the end we'll finally see

Take me home every day I pray I took the long way

I took the long way, oh the long way

Heartaches and pain through my lifetime has shown me

Judgements not my place, you can see it on a sinner's face

And when I finish the race know I took the long way



Everything I ever needed has fallen in my hands

Fallen in my hands

Everything I ever needed has fallen in my hands

Food to eat, a bed to sleep in, and a roof above my head



Lord, please protect me in this dark place

So I can provide for my family

And keep them safe



Everything I ever needed has fallen in my hands

Everything I ever needed has fallen in my hands

It's the long way or the wrong way, we all reap what we sow
