On The Long Winding Road

The long winding road it does lead to somewhere To some other place in the big world out there Along by the mountains it winds up and down On through the flat countryside to the far away town On the long winding road that leads to places far Are many a cyclist and motorbike, truck, bus and car That links villages and towns in places far and wide Far inland from the ocean in the remote countryside The long winding road built by men some now dead For the benefit of the road users in the decades ahead Men who worked hard for their money every working day And for them there never was an easy pay The long distance truck driver on the long winding road Is racing fading daylight to his distant abode His wife and children expecting him home for the tea Three hundred miles inland from the town by the sea.
