    Story Behind the Song
    I was sitting at a stop light in downtown Dallas one afternoon and there was an old man living in a box on the street corner. His eyes met mine for just a moment, and this song is the result of that brief encounter.

    Lyrics
    Long Road To Heaven jsj © 1999

    Em G D A
    I fought a losing battle with the demons of my past
    G(note) Em G D
    I hear the snakes begin to rattle I might have seen my last
    Am walk up to C Am walk up to C D A Asus A G(note)
    They're hiding in the grass that's growing in the cracks of a broken heart
    Em G D A
    A lonely man at the end of lonely street
    G(note) Em D
    I've done played my hand to the dealers at my feet
    Am walk up to C Am walk up to C D E Esus E
    They're waiting in the grass that's growing in the cracks of a broken heart
    G D E
    And it's a long road to heaven
    C D B Bsus B
    When you're standing down at the gates of hell
    Am G A
    I'm putting my faith in a lucky seven
    Am walk up to Cmaj7
    That never shows its face
    Am walk up to Cmaj7 D A
    And lately I'm thinking it's just as well
    G(note) Em
    It's just as well

    I spin the tale of a bottle that robbed me of my prime
    With my hands still on the throttle of this freight train in my mind
    That's rusting in the grass that's growing in the cracks of a broken heart
    I tried to find a lover I tried to find a friend
    but the search is never over when you're near the end
    You just lay down in the grass that's growing in the cracks of a broken heart
    G D E
    And it's a long road to heaven
    C D B Bsus B
    When you're standing down at the gates of hell
    Am G A Asus A
    I'm putting my faith in a lucky seven
    Am walk up to Cmaj7
    That never shows its face
    B
    As far as I can tell
    Am walk up to C D AAsusA Asus A
    And lately I'm thinking it's just as well
    G(note) E (start first measure of Outro)
    It's just as well
