It's a long old road, but I know I'm gonna find the end.

I know now that it is going to be a tough and long road ahead of me.

I've been poor and I've been rich, and rich is better.

I ain't good-lookin', but I'm somebody's angel child.

No time to marry, no time to settle down; I'm a young woman, and I ain't done runnin' around.

It's a long old road, but I know I'm gonna find the end.
