This Old Road - Kris Kristofferson

Look at that old photograph

Is it really you

Smiling like a baby full of dreams

Smiling ain’t so easy now

Some are coming true

Nothing’s simple as it seems

But I guess you count your blessings with the problems

That you’re dealing with today

Like the changing of the seasons

Chorus:

Ain’t you come a long way

Ain’t you come a long way

Ain’t you come a long way down

This old road

Looking at a looking glass

Running out of time

On a face you used to know

Traces of a future lost

In between the lines

One more rainbow for the road

Thinking of the faces in the window

That you passed along the way

Or the last thing you believed in Chorus:

Ain’t you come a long way

Ain’t you come a long way

Ain’t you come a long way down

This old road

Say you tried to chase the sundown

And you let it slip away

And the holy night is falling

Chorus:

Ain’t you come a long way

Ain’t you come a long way

Ain’t you come a long way down

This old road

Look at that old photograph

Is it really you?
