Will you stand by my side
When my hands and feet are tied
And the walls I built around me
Don't shelter me no more

When I can't recall the name
Though the song is still the same
Will you be right there behind me, brother
Will you walk that road with me

Oh, it's a long, long road
We're a thousand miles from home
It's a long walk backwards, honey
Got a long way to go
Got a long, long way to go

All I want is to be with you
'Cause I know this much is true
Love will find an answer
And bring us safely through

When you can't recall my name
And nothing is the same
I will be right there behind you, brother
I will walk that road with you

Well, it's a long, long road
We're a thousand miles from home
It's a long walk backwards, honey
Got a long way to go
Got a long, long way to go

If you run I'll follow you
'Cause there's not much you can do
To leave me by the wayside
I won't give up on you

And when all the world has changed
And we're just not the same
I will be right there behind you, brother
I will walk that road with you

Oh it's a long, long road
We're a thousand miles from home
It's a long walk backwards, honey
Got a long way to go
Got a long, long way to go
Got a long way to go
Got a long, long way to go
