Long days, come alive I take it in through my eyes Long days of paper tigers They ate all the words of the wise Now my spirit and bones take me Straight to a fork in the road Now my spirit and bones take me Somewhere I've never known And if I face indecision Don't let me face it alone Just take me straight to Virginia Back to the faces of home Long days, fade away I take it in through my eyes Sometimes survival's the milestone Electrified like a lightning tree Take these spirit and bones And catapult from the ground What doesn't throw you or burn you Will surely turn you around And if I face indecision Don't let me face it alone Just take me straight to Virginia Back to the faces of home And if I face indecision Don't let me face it alone Just take me straight to Virginia Back to the faces of home Long days, come alive I face the trail of the Old Lonesome Pine I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance Straight ahead for what's left behind Long days, fade away I take it in through my eyes Sometimes survival's the milestone I may get lost But I will know where I've been Know where I've been I know where I am right now
