Here are the lyrics for the song:
(Verse 1)
I've been down the road too many times
And you just keep on running back around
I'm tired of all this back and forth
I'm ready to walk away now
And I won't be coming back
(Chorus)
Long road, long road
It's a long road I have traveled
Long road, long road
And it's a long road still ahead
But I won't be afraid
(Verse 2)
I've seen the dark side of this town
And you just keep on living in your dreams
I'm tired of all these empty promises
I'm ready to start a new life
And I won't be looking back
(Chorus)
Long road, long road
It's a long road I have traveled
Long road, long road
And it's a long road still ahead
But I won't be afraid
(Bridge)
I've been through the fire, I've been through the rain
I've seen it all, and I've come out stronger
I won't let you hold me down anymore
I'm ready to take control of my life
And I won't be afraid
(Chorus)
Long road, long road
It's a long road I have traveled
Long road, long road
And it's a long road still ahead
But I won't be afraid
(Outro)
I'm taking the long road
I'm not going back
I'm moving on
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
