lyrics

It’s a long way to heaven
A hard road to climb
The grit and the gravel get stuck in my toes
Every time I tread there
My shoes are thread bare

It’s a long, long way to heaven
It’s a long, long way to go now
Ya, it’s a long way to heaven

It’s a long way to heaven
Every time I try to ascend
They say ‘Go back girl, go back and make amends’
I try, I’m really trying

It’s a long, long way to heaven
It’s a long, long way to go now
Ya, it’s a long way to heaven

A long time ago you lost a piece of you rib
Well I’ve been trying to get to that
Womanly hybrid
I’m wrong, so very wrong
On the contrary, it’s evolutionary

It’s a long way to heaven
Only the brave and the wise know
How to keep the dust and dirt from getting
Caught in your eyes
Wow, I’m guessing, I’m really guessing

It’s a long, long way to heaven
It’s a long, long way to go now
Ya, it’s a long way to heaven

Gotta go, gotta get back to, Gotta go, gotta get back there……..
