The road is still long

For a while now I’ve been thinking about creating a collection of the lyrics that I feel defined me at a certain moment in my life. I imagined this would be some kind of dedicated section of my site, but having them as tagged/categorized posts in a blog should do just as nice.

I should probably set up a disclaimer for this. Obviously, I am only reproducing the lyrics for informational purposes, all rights are property of their respective owners. I could probably just post links to sites such as lyricwiki.org - it’s just that I much better like to be able to see the text at once :D

Below is one of my long-time favorites:

The road’s still long
by Cinderella

Growing up as a young boy
Sometimes can be rough
At six years old I was thinkin’
Seven would be just enough
But I was wrong
Ooo I was wrong yeah…


Ten years old and I’m growin’
Thinkin’ I got it sussed
Mama said you’ll be a fine young man
I thought I already was
But I was wrong
Ooo I was wrong

Cause when you get where you’re going
The road’s still long

Eighteen years I’m a rebel
Thinkin’ I’m pretty tough
Daddy said you got a lot to learn
I thought that I’d learned enough
But I was wrong
Ooo I was wrong yeah…

Twenty-five was a good time
Comin’ into my own
Climbed the mountain
And I reached for the sky
I thought that I had it all
But I was wrong
Ooo I was wrong

Cause when you get where you’re going
The road’s still long When you get where you’re going
The road’s still long

They all try to tell you
But who are they to say
Cause the best things that you learn
You find out on your way
No time for feelin’ sorry
Just time for being strong
When you get where your going
The road’s still long

Now I see where I come from
Now I see where I am
Now I see that you never really know
So you just gotta do the best you can
And that ain’t wrong
Ooo that ain’t wrong no
Cause when you get where you’re going
The road’s still long
When you get where you’re going
The road’s still long
When you get where you’re going yeah…
