cnd Chord Req: Long Time Troubled Road Eric Andersen (4) RE: Chord Req: Long Time Troubled Road Eric Andersen 08 Apr 25


Bugsy, here's the lyrics as they're printed in the liner notes. I don't completely agree with them, but it's close enough that my complaints are pretty trivial.

I'm by myself and not too long started
Many fine women have told me so
There's a window pointing and we must be parted
I've been a short time on a long-time troubled road

But I'll keep on jiving, my head's thrown back high
I don't need no map scale, I can follow my eyes
But if someone asks you, tell 'em I feel fine
Over these valleys and hills, my voice will fly

Some people say I'm a long-tail rouster
And ever on my face will your eyes cling
Other people say I'm I dusty-old drifter
And when the rains fall lonesome, baby that's ok

I'm going back to the sky-kissed mountain
With my collar up, up, up, up, to stop the driving rain
I'm gonna drink from a crystal fountain
And I just may catch onto a west-bound train

I'm by myself and not too long started
Down trouble's road, Lord, I have come
To the silver waters I'll be returning
To run my race with the blazing sun
