I saw your face in the clouds the other day
with your far-away eyes and your skin's a kind of grey
you had it rough, you blame it on your youth
but that's not the real reason and it's not the only truth
now let's get face to face and don't tell me no lies
some teenage childhoodfriends, sharing one big dream
both in a rock and roll band, the biggest on the scene
one kept his nose clean and he was way to go
the other got himself so high, but it took him down so low
into a shattered life, so filthy, dark and mean...
how much longer will you walk a dirty road?
how much longer will you carry heavy load...
what in the world made you go down south...
was it the lack of love you couldn't deal without?
how much longer will you walk a dirty road?
you drink so hard, the bottle aches
passed out on the floor before the glasses break
you're hiding away behind your alibi
though you know it's all stupid and it terrifies
until the levees break and there will be no sweet goodbyes
how much longer...
you laugh it away with a smile and a frown
it's your private wicked world
upside down...
how much longer will you walk a dirty road?
how much longer will you carry heavy load?
somehow somewhere you lost the way
now you're running scared, day after day
how much longer will you walk a dirty road...
