Jean-Jacques Goldman
USA (LONG IS THE ROAD) Paroles: Dominique Simpson-Jones, musique: Jean-Jacques Goldman
In the world we don't know, made of deserts and plains
Where despite of the fate needs of screaming remains
For whatever you do there a ??? in vain
You are doomed from the start, maybe God is to blame
In the back of his bag nothing more than a dream
All the country will hurt in the dirt and the clean
He's so poor and so young, he's got nothing to lose
Just a piece of his mind, but no way he can choose
There's a treasure he keeps very close to his heart
In the papers they say he's the ???
But long is the road,
Hard is the way,
Heavy my lord,
But deep is my faith,
Long is the road
And the California sea with the girl in blue jeans
She's been the ??? with the ???
He's got the pride to be on the right side
Catching the key and he ???
And Hollywood approves for the price
Leaves up the roots ??? where there's nothing denied
No-one cares about the cheat and the lies
He wears his goal ??? until they die
But long is the road,
Hard is the way,
Heavy my lord,
But deep is my faith,
Long is the road
Got my head,
Nothing to lose,
Got my lord
Got my faith
Got my lord
And I'm praying
