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
