I was sitting at a light in downtown Dallas one day and looked into a homeless man's eyes and this is what I saw... Jay Johnson c.1999 IMAGES

Long Road To Heaven - c. 1999 jayjohnsonmusic.com I fought a losing battle with the demons of my past I hear the snakes begin to rattle. I might have seen my last. They’re hiding in the grass - that’s growing in the cracks of a broken heart. A lonely man at the end of Lonely Street I’ve done played my hand to the dealers at my feet. They’re waiting in the grass - that’s growing in the cracks of a broken heart. It’s a long road to heaven - when you’re standing down at the gates of hell. I’m putting my faith in a lucky seven... That never shows his face and lately I’m thinking it’s just as well. I spin the tale of a bottle that robbed me of my prime With my hands still on the throttle of this freight train in my mind... That’s rusting in the grass - that’s growing in the cracks of a broken heart. I tried to find a lover and I tried to find a friend But the search is never over when you’re near the end... You just lay down in the grass - that’s growing in the cracks of a broken heart. x
