Kris Kristofferson Lyrics
"This Old Road"

(Kris Kristofferson)

Look at that old photograph
Is it really you smilin' like a baby full of dreams?
Smilin' ain't so easy now
Some are comin' 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
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 runnin' 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 your window that you passed along the way
Or the last thing you believed in
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?

--- Instrumental ---

Say you tried to chase the sundown and you let it slip away
And the holy night is falling
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?....
