Long Way To Go
Journey of Hope: Dwight Yoakam's Reflection on Life's Long Road
Lyrics
I've got a long way to go before I get there
I have a significant distance to cover before reaching my destination.
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
I have a lot of work to do, especially when the sun is high in the sky.
I've got a lot of miles to roll
I have many miles to travel.
And the next few only show
The upcoming miles will only emphasize the long journey ahead.
That there is still such a long way to go
Despite the progress, there is still a considerable distance to cover.
Dreamin' is only dreamin'
Dreaming remains a mere fantasy until it becomes the only reality.
Till dreamin' is the only thing that 's true
True fulfillment comes when dreaming becomes the sole truth.
And wishin' is only wishin'
Wishing is empty until the only desire is to be with a specific person.
'Til my only thought 's the wish to be with you
The ultimate wish is to be with the person in one's thoughts.
I've got a long way to go before I get there
Reiterating the long journey ahead before reaching the destination.
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Highlighting the significant work ahead, especially in the blazing sun.
I've got a lot of miles to roll
Emphasizing the extensive miles that need to be traveled.
And the next few only show
The upcoming miles will only reinforce the realization of the long journey.
That there is still such a long way to go
Despite progress, there is still a considerable distance to cover.
Hopin' doesn't feel like hopin'
Hope feels genuine when the heart shares the same hopeful sentiment.
If I can feel your heart hopin' too
The authenticity of hope is confirmed when the other person's heart is also hopeful.
And touchin' doesn't feel like touchin'
Touch loses its meaning unless followed by the anticipation of the next touch.
Until I feel the next touch from you
True fulfillment in touching comes when anticipating the next touch from a specific person.
I've got a long way to go before I get there
Reiterating the long journey ahead before reaching the destination.
I've got a lot of field to hoe with the sun so high
Highlighting the significant work ahead, especially in the blazing sun.
I've got a lot of miles to roll
Emphasizing the extensive miles that need to be traveled.
And the next few only show
The upcoming miles will only reinforce the realization of the long journey.
That there is still such a long way to go
Despite progress, there is still a considerable distance to cover.
I've got a lot of miles to roll
Underlining the numerous miles still left to travel.
And the next few only show
The upcoming miles will only emphasize the long journey ahead.
That there is still such a long way to go
Despite the progress, there is still a considerable distance to cover.
