It's a Long Road (Theme from First Blood) [Original 1982 Soundtrack Album Version]

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
