I was born on the border of a tundra Under a star spangled sky All my life I'd wonder About the wide world outside And then one day, like a saga Along came my savior so handsome And he asked my father for my hand And he promised adventure He'd bring me along to the land Of roses and hope Long lonely road Across the bridges Along the highways Long lonely road Over ridges Through the valleys On the new shore he kept my passport for safety Told me I was legal I begged him no, but he made me Do things that I never know I'm sure that they're wrong beyond Long lonely road Across the bridges Along the highways Long lonely road Over ridges Through the valleys All the strangers, all the men, all the different faces They all want the same I shut my mind off, close my eyes Go to warm and safe places I wish that I could go home I wish I could take the Long winding road Across the bridges Along the highways Long winding road Over ridges Through the valleys They lock the window Through a tiny hole in the ceiling I still see a star spangled sky I close my eyes and fly Long lonely road Across the bridges Along the highways Long lonely road Over ridges Through the valleys Long lonely road Across the bridges Along the highways Long lonely road Over ridges Through the valleys
