Long days, come alive 
I take it in through my eyes 
Long days of paper tigers 
They ate all the words of the wise 

Now my spirit and bones take me 
Straight to a fork in the road 
Now my spirit and bones take me 
Somewhere I've never known 

And if I face indecision 
Don't let me face it alone 
Just take me straight to Virginia 
Back to the faces of home 

Long days, fade away 
I take it in through my eyes 
Sometimes survival's the milestone 
Electrified like a lightning tree 

Take these spirit and bones 
And catapult from the ground 
What doesn't throw you or burn you 
Will surely turn you around 

But if I face indecision 
Don't let me face it alone 
Just take me straight to Virginia 
Back to the places I know 
And if I face indecision 
Don't let me face it alone 
Just take me straight to Virginia 
Back to the faces of home 

Long days, come alive 
I face the trail of Old Lonesome Pine 
I catch a glimpse, flickers of brilliance 
Straight ahead for what's left behind 

Long days, fade away 
I hope to see them again 
Sometimes survival's the milestone 
I may get lost 
But I will know where I've been 
Know where I've been 
I know where I am right now
