Little River Band - It's A Long Way There Lyrics

Love this band. My favorite song by them.

relaxing in the long ride

I'm in for the 1st time and I like mucho!!!

Takes me back to my childhood in Australia. The sun and the dust, meat pies and Peter's Icecream. The smell of burnt eucalyptus bush and the freedom we had to run amok and enjoy ourselves.

......and enjoy a vegamite sandwich.....and a balut with a warm beer, eh?

🥀🖤🥀AMAZING JOB GUYS🥀🖤🥀✌

🎸👌🏻👏

Why is it four minutes the original is 8

This is the single version, shortened for radio airplay.

In 77 i was a life guard in training at the land mark hotel in vegas and it was one of the best times in my life people brang radios and this would play alot like stations do and it takes me back a long way there ! 07/11/19 Spokane WA !

WTF?!  Aussie/Kiwi West bloody Coast?!

Uff... What a song¡ What a memories¡ What a age¡ What a band¡ It's amazed¡ Ncredible¡ My pillow melody¡ The soundtrack of my youth¡ Saludos desde la bahia de Tampa, Florida.

This album never gets old and your volume should always be turned way UP!!!!!

The Other Guys led me here

One of my first singles... timeless song.

Best Album ever!

I really love thier music, especially when i was driving way back home or even in riding a bus.

This truly one of my most favorite tunes . I play the guitar and the guitarist for these guys is so unique . Classy . Right spot on Rhythm . and thats what its about.. Man . If I could Play like that Id levitate !!!

LRB = the Australian Eagles

Definitely

Everynight I walk around the city! Feeling safe and free! for some to get here in paradise, its along long way, but well worth the Wait! *)

gordon mackenzie just curious, which city?

diamond tina Cocktail anyone! *)

I would rather be preached these words.

All of this is heading to
Write it down
A continuing belief

Break Through a new life is going forward

This is the shortened radio edition. The album version is eight and half minutes of musical joy. An extra four minutes of Ric Formosa’s magical guitar work. As an Aussie music guru used to say, do yourself a favour, and check it out.

Yeah the long version is the best indeed. Hi from france to all music lovers 🥰

God bless look over us everywhere in world

I can't believe I saw a comment on here saying they were underrated. This band was huge worldwide and one of if not the best Aussie bands to break into America.

I took the comment to mean they are not recognized enough for their awesome music. Love them

INXS kicked ass......for a while, anyway. Always loved "Devil Inside". Still do.....gotta turn that bitch up to 11.

Will Ferrell from "The Other Guys" brought me here. Thanks LRB!

Yeah would have never heard Pablo cruise if it wasn't for him randomly wearing a shirt of thiers in Step Brothers

Lived it. Adore the music! Shine on Little River Band.

Just saw them in concert last week. What a treat.

That intro will always be fucking awesome 👍👍👍

Wonderful uplifting band!

That's me on the album cover btw . . .

Cant wait till DEC 9TH..OCALA

Pity there's not one single original member in the band nowadays

Awesome sauce

Love little river band . I am talking about this one indeed. They harmonize so beautiful. They are all good but Glenn can pull you in when he sings . Most underrated band 🎶🎶❤️❤️

Hey everybody yeah, don't you feel that there's something?
Feel it, feel it?
Hey everybody yeah, don't you feel that there's something?
People on their own are getting nowhere,
I am on the road to see,
If anything is anywhere and waiting, just for me.
Every night I walk around the city.
Seems like I'll never know,
That feeling of being together when I go.
And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going,
And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going.
Hey everybody, don't you feel that there's something, but you know
in a moment it is gone.
I live for the day when I can hear people saying that they know and
they care for everyone
But I feel like I've been here for the whole of my life, never knowing
home.
It's a long way.
It's a long, long, long way there,
I'm gonna keep on tryin',
I'm gonna keep on tryin', yeah,
I'm gonna keep on tryin',
I'm gonna keep on tryin', ah!
Been away from home for such a long time,
And got to know this town,
But I don't seem to matter much to anyone, who's around
Is there anybody around?
Every night I walk around the city,
Seems like I'll never know,
The feeling of being together when I go.
And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going,
And it's a long way there, it's a long way to where I'm going.

Such an underappreciated group. Superb music!

Slept on them. Found this song on my playlist someone made for me. Great song. Any suggestions on another hit from them?

Night owls

They get painted as a lame soft rock group... This is some serious musical pleasure!
Awesome bass line, killer guitar work, amazing harmonies, haunting key changes... A Perfect Song..
They don't make music like this anymore!!!

I Quit, You said it brother. Awesome!

Jerry Garcia Band😉

Gonna catch em at Lakeside, Ohio tonight.

70hoovie not the original indeed. I would love to see the original members indeed again

So how was it lol

Hey I saw them that night too!

Yup. Lol

j’avais une copie en vinyl superbe morceau les harmonies sont magnifiques et le solo .... dingue

Très belles harmonies 🥰

notice the song ends at 4:20...good timing

70's rock.

Great band my favorate group band

Classic

THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER!!! I HAVE SEEN TJEM TWICE...MET THEM ....GREAT GUYS!! LOVE UM!

Yes it is

Love these guys. They were all over top 40 back in the late 70s.

A fantastic concert - LRB with Journey as the headline back in the late 70’s I remember that night!

My father had a copy of this album ☺️1980’s.

This is one of my favorite group songs ever!! They harmonize so well!! Has some good rhythm to it!!

got that right

superb aussie band!

Yay, Little River Band!

Just learned of LRB liken1 yr ago..
. GUITAR RIFFS ARE ALMOST P.FLOYD ..33 Yr. Old and still learning of cool bands... I was raised with pink floyd the doors and the grateful dead pink floyd number one
Can't forget supertramp, I Went THROUGH 3or 4 the Wall on double check cassettes... Then CDs came out probably in 92 and I probably went through at least 10 copies throughout my life rock on peace out!!☮️😵😵🙃

Some would call this POP, not so. This is ROCK & ROLL!!

same, I don't get why it's called pop rock, seems pretty r&l for me

Their breakthrough release from the fall of 1976-Fantastic song!

Underrated Aussie band

They're world record sales price otherwise. Their problems stem from unresolvable personality differences, direction and creativity, plus everyone wanted to be the lead. A creative and excellent band. What most fans don't know is that LRB hired and fired over 30 musicians and singers until they fizzed out even though most people have heard their greatest hits many times.

Wow !!!
Australia ???
*Awesome.*

I always figured they were from Texas or Alabama. I'm shocked! In a good way. 🤓󾓦🍀

Good times
