Valerie June - Long Lonely Road Lyrics






Pile in the church pew rows
Gran made the best yeast rolls
Gospel stories told
'Bout the one way to save your soul

Drag out the old guitar
Gas up that old Ford car
We're gonna hit the dusty road
Four wheels can barely load

It's been a long
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, lonely road

Pops earned his bread in dust
But his hard-working hands fed us
Sun up till sun sank down
His body worked to the ground

Folks thought we had it made
'Cause we always kept a face
Meanwhile there's bills to pay
And the stack growing every day

It's been a long
It's been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road
My, my, my it's been a long
Been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road

Soon as I turned 18
I packed up the grass is green
New York or Tennessee
Where I am is where I'll be

God tell me 'bout your plans
And I'll find a place to land
Surely there'd be a way
To move towards a brighter day

It's been a long
It's been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road
My, my, my, it's been a long
Been a long, long
Been a long, long, long, long, lonely road
My, my, my, it's been a long
Been a long, long
Long, long lonely road

One person's path unpaved
Went towards the path that saved
These are the songs you sing
In the search for the grass that's green

It's been a long
Been a long, long, long, lonely road

  17. M.... O....

    Very nice!

  18. C.... L....

    love everything about her brilliant x

  19. Y.... C....

    Her voice sounds very much like Akiko Yano, who is a Japanese pop singer.

    Y.... C....

    She's 1/4 Japanese. She's mostly African decent (African American, Jamaican, and Dominican). But yes she has an amazing and unique voice! There are both under rated artist.

  20. A.... B....

    I love this woman

    A.... B....

    I love her too, God bless the world

  21. R.... L....

    Great voice, a cross of Macy Gray and Erica Badu.

    R.... L....

    I appreciate your enthusiasm and respect. But Valerie is a cross of no-one. She is Valerie. A true original.
