Still Got a Long Way to Go Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

James Ulawabe′s gonna help me sing this next one
And as opposed to what we said in rehearsal, he's gonna sing from back there
Because he′s a lazy bastard, hey
Basically, that's how he got in the band
This is a song we originally did with Diesel

I've got one more remaining hour
With you in this dusty room
(And you know that) just like some plastic flowers
You just never see them bloom

Well I, I burned a candle for you so many times
Oh, they never burn too slow
And I′ve still got a long way to go, oh yeah

Came across a wise man
Seemed that he don′t understand
Promised that he would lighten up my load (yes he did now)
Put my money in his hand
Thought he was a ticket man
Sent me off down the road, yeah


Well I, I put my trust in, oh, so many a man
Could never tell who's friend or foe
And I′ve still got a long way to go, oh yeah
I said time could be so hard, time can be so hard
Ain't no shuffling by the cards that you dealt
Well, I know, now I know

I walked through fields of snow
Feeling warm from the afterglow
Thought I′d never feel the cold
And you know that
Saw a star up in the sky (oh yeah)
Felt that it could be mine
Instead, it was the king of rock 'n′ roll (oh, oh yeah, oh)
And things aren't always quite what they seem, no
I pay nothing to see the show
And I've still got a long way to go (oh-oh, oh, oh yeah, oh yeah)

I still got a long way (I still got a long way)
Still got a long way (ooh ooh ooh) baby, oh yeah
I still got a long way (oh, still better have a long way)
Still got a long way, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh yeah, if I had none, I′m going to tell you want them harder, baby, baby)
I said I′ve still got a long way
I still got a long way (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Still got a long way to go, hmm hmm hmm

Alright
Havin' fun yet, or what?
