Lyrics
I never met a man who was burdened by my thoughts
Who felt the weight on my shoulders, whose conscience paid for my faults.
No I don't come from money or from high pedigree
but my mind wasn't made for slavery I was born to be free.
It's been a long road here
yea it's been a long road here.
Yeah there's worries, oh there's worries, worries, worries, and there's pain, and there's strain.
And you can promise to fix them and guide me by the hand,
but strip me of these have me get on my knees and deprive me of being a man.
It's been a long road here
it's been a long road here
it's been a long road here
We can't forget what we've learned
or what our fathers have earned
so you better step off
I don't give a damn what you do with your own time
as long as what you're doing doesn't cost me a piece of my pie.
And I don't mind wiping sweat from my brow
cause this dirt on my hands makes me strong, keeps me sharp and proud.
It's been a long road here
it's been a long road here
it's been a long road here
We can't forget what we've learned
or what our fathers have earned
so you better step off
You may call me old fashioned or that I'm cut from a faded cloth, but there's a hell of a lot of us
out there... so you better step off
