Lyrics
I got a long way to go to get where I’m going
Need a new pair of shoes, there’ll be some walking
Better not run just in case when I get there
I’ll be at the wrong place the wrong time again and tired
Coffee shop playing could his my ticket
Free drinks and food well who could refuse it
Or maybe a small church where the sound is amazing
Sharing moments with a crowd is sometimes magic
Get a little song on a local station
And roll with the punches for self preservation
I have a friend who was into acting
Playing with a group across the country stages
Nerves got the best of her and life got busy
Now that the kids are gonna she’s reliving the moment
Getting little parts on local stages
And rolling with the punches for self preservation
You move from you country a new life is starting
Leaving the past to find a better situation
Well you ways of earning don’t mean nothing here
So you end up doing something just to pay your bills
Get a store on main street selling local creations
And roll with the punches for self preservation
