Semi autobiographical song about 40 years playing music,

lyrics

PROMISED LAND
Russ Still
2016

I been riding this line a long, long time
I’m 20 years past my prime
The life I'm leading ain't ideal

I been tryin it honest, doing it right
But things ain't moving, not a dime in sight
If the devil finds me I gonna make a deal

CHORUS
How long is long enough?
How hard has it got to get to be tough?
They say it's not over til it turns out right
I've heard more than one lie in my life
I won't know for sure til the end
But if the poor man wins I'm headed to the promised land


Life on the road is moving slow
It's 800 miles to our next show
I ain’t sure if we're gonna make it alive

I been driving all night drinking liquid speed
The boys in the band they can't read
We get lost every time they drive

CHORUS

This is ain't how I thought it'd turn out
I had big dreams I don’t talk about
I lost them somewhere on this lonely road

I was gonna be a star once upon a time
It’s been too long to change my mind
Now I'm paying the price for dragging this heavy load

CHORUS
