It's a Long Road (Theme from First Blood) - Jerry Goldsmith

It’s a long road

When you’re on your own

And it hurts when they tear your dreams apart

And every new town

Just seems to bring you down

Trying to find

Peace of mind

Can break your heart

It’s a real war

Right outside your front door

I tell ya

Out where they’ll kill ya

You could use a friend

Where the road is

That’s the place for me

Where I’m me

In my own space

Where I’m free

That’s the place

I want to be

'Cause

The road is long and

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks, just heartaches

Oh man, is anybody winning?

It’s a long road

And it’s hard as hell

Tell me what do you do to survive

When they draw first blood

That’s just the start of it

Day and night

You gotta fight

To keep alive

It’s a real war

Right outside your front door

I tell ya

Out where they’ll kill ya

You could use a friend

Cause

The road is long and

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks, just heartaches

Oh man, is anybody winning?

The road is long and

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks, just heartaches

Oh man, is anybody winning?

It’s a long road

It’s a long road
