You find your place to hide its keeping you alive
With mingling marionettes that are messing with your mind
Tangled in tyranny angled in piracy
Here's to the powers that be that make it easy to get what you need
Guess ill be hittin' the long ol' lonesome go
Straight to the promised land
Hittin' the long ol' lonesome go with your heartbreak in my hand
If pretty hearts get broken then petty thieves survive
On the crumbs of compassion that you casually tossed aside
Fortune favors the brave you'll always be a slave
As you go marching toward the promise of an early rain
Guess ill be hittin' the long ol' lonesome go
Straight to the promised land
Right there in my hand
I'll be hittin' the long ol' lonesome go
Straight to the promised land
Hittin' the long ol' lonesome go with your heartbreak in my hand
With your heartbreak in my hand
