I remember the moment that my dreams were broken
I wrote them down on a postcard and then threw it away
I slipped into some trousers and rolled out my window
Then went out into the wilderness where Im going to stay
And it’s a long, long, long journey that weve been on
And its a long, long, long story that can be told
And it’s a long, long day and weve come a long, long way
And its a long, long, long way back
Im looking around this museum for paintings I relate to
Even though most of them were painted by somebody else
Then we went to the movies and watched lots of films there, yeah
Now Im going down to Hollywood to make them myself
And its a long, long, long journey that weve been on
And its a long, long, long story that will be told
And it’s a long, long day and we’ve come a long, long way
And its a long, long, long way back
And it’s a big, big vehicle that were driving in
And Ive been following this roadway since it began
And if I came here to lose then I still might win
When I go down that road again
And the road doesnt end
It’s a long, long road and we follow it again and again
And the road dont pretend
I went down to the Coast Guard to see what theyre guarding
See what the sign says, you idiot, were guarding the coast
Now Im going on a podcast to talk about my memories
Even though I cant remember anything from before the show
Ive made some long, long phone calls to my friends at home
And I told them where Ive been and the places Im going
And they said, Wow, thats incredible, but we already know
Because of that long, long song you wrote
About how its a long, long, long journey that weve been on
And its a long, long, long story that shall be told
And its a long, long day and weve come a long, long way
But theres still a long way to go
Its a long, long, long way, its a long, long strong way
Its a long, long, long way forward
