%abc-2.1 X:1 T:Been On The Road C:Alex Campbell Z:Webmaster K: W:1 W:I've been on the road, so long W:Been tired and broke, so long W:I've been to the south where the winds they were warm W:Travelling the road of no return, so long W: W:2 W:I've seen what was war, so long W:The ruins and the scars, so long W:The mansions of mud, the wounds and the blood W:Seen the dying of all that was good, so long. W: W:3 W:Seen the world in the shadow, so long W:Is its mushrooming cloud, so long W:And the lies and the greed of the leaders of men W:Those cheats who would take us to war again, so long. W: W:4 W:Yet hope is in me, so long W:For it's love that I see, so long W:The courage and strenght of the young men's smile W:The faith that's in a little child, so long W: W:5 W:I've travelled this road, so long W:Have been tired and broke, so long W:I've been to the south where the winds they were warm W:Travelling the road of no return, so long
