lyrics

It's a long way to go
it's a long way to walk
it's a long way home
and lord i'm on fire
and lord i'm on fire

It's a long way to swim
it's a long way to go
but then you get there
you're headed back home
and lord i'm on fire

They pay you a dollar
they pay you a dime
they'll give you anything
but overtime
and lord i'm on fire

Sweat running down
the back of my brow
that's when the sun
won't go down
lord i'm on fire

Hand me a shovel
or hand me a pick
give me anything
or i won't stick
lord i'm on fire

I been working
since the day I was born
and I'm gonna be here
for a whole lot more
lord i'm on fire

Dig myself an early grave
I'll be all over the place
lord, lord i'm on fire

It's a long way to walk
it's a long way to go
before you get back home
lord i'm on fire

Might take a train
might take a car
i don't care,
it's goin' very far
i'm on fire

might take a bus
or take a plane
either way i'm getting there
sunshine or rain
lord, lord, lord i'm on fire

you get my letter?
you get my text?
oh, i'm wishing you the best
i'm on fire

such a long way to go
i'm on fire
such a long, long, long
i'm on fire
long way to go
i' m on fire
got a long way to go
i'm on fire
