[Verse 1]
I had a good time
I had a good time
In the Carolina sunshine
Miles away from my lines
And I had swell week
I had a swell week
In the sweltering Tennessee heat
Where my thoughts can't follow me
[Chorus]
So hold on
We're almost there
We'll never know
If you can carry that weight
And if you're not scared
Then don't be scared
When the long road calls you home
Far from all you've ever known
[Verse 2]
I had a long talk
I had a long talk
With the ones that I called my stock
So just try to hold on
It's been a long year
It's been a long year
And we're only six month's deep my dear
So just try to hold on
[Chorus]
Yeah hold on
We're almost there
We'll never know
If you can carry that weight
And if you're not scared
Then don't be scared
When the long road calls you home
[Bridge]
And it seems to me
There are voices inside us
That frequently
Tell us not to go on
(Far from all you've ever known)
But they don't see
The person inside us
We were built for greatness along
When the long road calls you
[Chorus]
So hold on
We're almost there
We'll never know
If you can carry that weight
And if you're not scared
Then don't be scared
When the long road calls...
So hold on
We're almost there
We'll never know
If you can carry that weight
And if you're not scared
Then don't be scared
When the long road calls you home
[Bridge/Outro]
And it seems to me
There are voices inside us
That frequently
Tell us not to go on
But they don't see
The person inside us
We were built for greatness all along
When the long road calls you home
Far from all you've ever known
