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
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 the 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 know where I've been
Know where I've been
I know where I am right now
