verse 1 Take the long road Hallelujah Well I don't want to let 'em know that I'm okay today And there's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me They say... And there's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me Today Interlude verse 2 Braced for hard times Hallelujah Well you'll be working till the day that you die They say... And there's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me Today And there's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me Bridge Down in the valley where my heart stood still I'll wait till the river flows Down in the valley where my heart stood still I'll wait till the river flows And there's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me They say... And there's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me There's a cold world waiting for me
