IT'S A LONG ROAD (FIRST BLOOD, 1982)

One of Sylvester 'The Sly' Stallone's signature films was the action-packed Rambo. The name Rambo has become so famous that it was later used as the title in sequels, but the first installment was only called First Blood. Dan Hill lent his voice to sing the soulful It's A Long Road.



IT’S A LONG ROAD
sung by: Dan Hill


It’s a long road

When you’re on your own

And it hurts when

They tear your dreams apart

And every new town

Just seems to bring you down

Trying to find peace of mind

Can break your heart

It’s a real war

Right outside your front door I tell ya

Out where they’ll kill ya

You could use a friend


Where the road is

That’s the place for me

Where I’m me in my own space

Where I’m free that’s the place

I wanna be


'Cause the road is long yeah

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks just heartaches

Oh man is anybody winning


It’s a long road

And it’s hard as hell

Tell me what do you do

To survive


When they draw first blood

That’s just the start of it

Day and night you gotta fight

To keep alive

It’s a real war

Right outside your front door I tell ya

Out where they’ll kill ya

You could use a friend


'Cause the road is long yeah

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks just heartaches

Oh man is anybody winning

The road is long yeah

Each step is only the beginning

No breaks just heartaches

Oh man is anybody winning


It’s a long road


It’s a long road
