The Long Way Around Lyrics & Tabs by Jackson Browne
The Long Way Around
guitar chords lyrics
I don't know what to say about these days
I'm seeing people changing in the strangest ways
Even in the richer neighbourhoods
People don't know when they got it good
They got the envy and they got it bad
When I was a kid everything I did was trying to be free
running up and down tinsel town with the fire inside of me
my planets all in retrograde the best of all my plans got made
I made my breaks and some mistakes
Just not the ones people think I made
I'm a long way gone down this winding road I'm on
It's gonna take me where I'm bound
It's a long way around
It's a little hard keeping track of what's gone wrong
The covenant unravels and the news just rolls (?) along
It's a long way around
It's a little hard keeping track of what's gone wrong
The covenant unravels and the news just rolls (?) along
I can feel my memory letting go some two or three disasters ago
It's hard to say what did more damage
Citizens' United or the Gulf Oil Spill
I'm a long way gone down this winding road I'm on
It's gonna take me where I'm bound
It's a long way around
It's never been that hard to buy a gun
Now they'll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone
The seeds of tragedy are there and what we feel we have the right to bear
and watch our children come to harm there / they're? in the safety of our arms
...??? the passions burn, heart goes out
We're a long way gone down this winding road we're on
It's gonna take us where we're bound
It's a long way around
