Still Got A Long Way To Go - Jimmy Barnes

Oh well I’ve got one more remaining hour

With you in this dusty room

And you know that just like some plastic flowers

You just never see them bloom

Oh I burned the candle for you so many times

You know they never burn too slow

And I’ve still got a long way to go I came across a wise man

Seemed that he might understand

Promised that he would lighten up my load

(Yes he did now) I put my money in his hand

Thought he was a ticket man

Sent me off down the road

Well I put my trust in oh so many a man

Never tell who’s friend or foe

And I’ve still got a long way to go Time can be so hard

Ain’t no shuffling of the cards that you dealt

This I know, now I know

I walked through fields of snow

Feeling warm from the after glow

I thought I’d never feel the cold

And you know that I saw a star up in the sky

Felt that it could be mine

Instead it was the king of rock 'n' roll

Yeah and things aren’t always quite what they seem, no

I’d pay nothing to see the show

And I’ve still got a long way to go
