Mighty Long Way

from Truth and Soul by Fishbone

/

lyrics

Said I'm shakin' in my shoes sometimes
And all alone I get the blues sometimes
And I'm far away from home, it seems so far, so far away
Many moons and many days

You know many things are on my mind
I search and search for answers I can't find
Then my people I will seek
They listen when I speak

Believe me when I say
Me and my friends go a mighty long way
Yea, yea
There's nothing that can make this bond to break
And if it comes along it must be strong
Believe me when I say
Me and my friends go a mighty long way

Well I look into the cloudy sky
And cleanse my soul as the heavens cry
My life like a rolling stone
Up and down the hills
It breaks my ass like a window sill

And if I had to do it all by myself
There be a threat to my mental health
But there's no need to run and hide
When folks are by my side

Believe me when I say
Me and my friends go a mighty long way
Yea, yea
Yea, yea
There's nothing that could make this bond to break
And don't even try unless you're ready to die
Believe me when I say
Me and my friends go a mighty long way
Believe my when I say
We go a mighty long way
