The Road Is Long
Passenger
4:10My future's uncertain My back starts hurting As soon as I get out of bed I listen to the news station Trouble in the whole nation Airplane passes by It's gotta be a mile high Reminds me that I'm not a bird But there's a side of me One part prisoner and one part free There's only so much any man can be We all want another life Another 50 years To see the outback and the Himalayas Feel that arctic wind around your ears We all want another life I'm picking up my paycheck How am I gonna make it? How am I ever getting out of this hole? Stuck in a timeframe Caught up in the mundane I wanna learn dancing Motorbike riding Maybe have a kid or two or three But there's a side of me One part prisoner and one part free There's only so much any man can be We all want another life Another 50 years To see the outback and the Himalayas Feel that arctic wind around your ears We all want another life I wanna try acting White water rafting Be a total failure Backpacking in Australia Learn to play the sitar Get better on the guitar Try some illegal substances But there's a side of me One part prisoner and one part free There's only so much any man can be We all want another life There's so much to know So many places that you wanna go We've hardly got the time To stop and say hello We all want another life Sail the Baltic Sea Grind an elephant to ten foot three Walk this land from sea to shining sea We all want another life
