I always thought this was gonna be easy
But like a fool I couldn't see
A dream is something, baby
don't come easily
Now everybody's got rules and regulations
We try to make it to the light of day
But through it all
there's somethin' that I have to say
Don't you worry that it's tearin' us in two
I couldn't make it if I didn't have you

Teardrop in your eye
Baby don't you cry
It's a long hard road
I know that you're alone
But I'll be coming home
It's a long hard road
A Long hard road

A million miles in between us couldn't change things
That's a promise from the heart
There's nothing in the world
Gonna tear us two apart
And though you feel like you
Always come in second
I never lied, your loves the best
It's like I told you girl
We're being put to the test
But as I'm hanging up the telephone
I never knew that I could feel so alone

Teardrop in your eye
Baby don't you cry
It's a long hard road
I know that you're alone
But I'll be coming home
It's a long hard road
And in the morning when I'm there
We'll have love to share
It's a long hard road
A long hard road

And though it's harder for us
Each and every mile
I'd give anything
Just to see you smile
Baby won't you smile

Teardrop in your eye
Baby don't you cry
It's a long hard road
I know that you're alone
But I'll be coming home
It's a long hard road
And in the morning when I'm there
We'll have love to share
It's a long hard road
Hard road
