Long days, come alive 

I take it in through my eyes 

Long days of paper tigers 

They ate all the words of the wise 



Now my spirit and bones take me 

Straight to a fork in the road 

Now my spirit and bones take me 

Somewhere I've never known 



And if I face indecision 

Don't let me face it alone 

Just take me straight to Virginia 

Back to the faces of home 



Long days, fade away 

I take it in through my eyes 

Sometimes survival's the milestone 

Electrified like a lightning tree 



Take these spirit and bones 

And catapult from the ground 

What doesn't throw you or burn you 

Will surely turn you around 



But if I face indecision 

Don't let me face it alone 

Just take me straight to Virginia 

Back to the places I know 

And if I face indecision 

Don't let me face it alone 

Just take me straight to Virginia 

Back to the faces of home 



Long days, come alive 

I face the trail of Old Lonesome Pine 

I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance 

Straight ahead for what's left behind 



Long days, fade away 

I hope to see them again 

Sometimes survival's the milestone 

I may get lost 

But I will know where I've been 

Know where I've been 

I know where I am right now
