Love Is a Long Road Lyrics

There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be
Yeah we were desperate then
To have each other to hold
But love is a long long road
Yeah love is a long long road

There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
Yeah, with my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long long road
Yeah love is a long long road

Some things are hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Some things are never enough
I guess I only can hope
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long road
Yeah love is a long long road

Love is a long long road
Yeah love is a long long road
Oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh, it's a long long road
Yeah

Cover art for Love Is a Long Road lyrics by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

A young woman falls for a man who turns out to be a heroin addict. She supports his attempts to quit but he can't. She leaves in frustration, unable to grasp the death-grip his drug has on him. He knows he blew a really good thing.

[Edit: Left out teh part about the lady being unhappy she was unable to help.]
