Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives - Long Walk to Heaven

Well, I'm one day
One day closer
Than I've ever been before
One mile
One mile further
Down this tired and weary road
This old world
Is full of some trouble
So many heartaches
I have known
Like a pilgrim
I keep on moving
'Cause this world
Is not my home

It's a long walk
It's a long walk
It's a long walk to heaven
And I'm too close to turn around

Sometimes every mile's a mountain
And each step
Lord, I'm counting
Until I see the lights beyond
That crystal sea

Lead me on
Lest I falter
Until I kneel down
At your altar
Then father please, oh please, oh please
Have mercy on me, well (well) well (well)

Well, it's a long walk
It's a long walk
It's a long walk to heaven
But I'm too close to turn around
Turn around, to turn around
