It’s a Long Way to the Dock (If You Wanna Stop in Rome)

[Verse 1]
Blinded on the highway
So many years ago
Paul's been walkin' by faith
Savin' lots of souls
Gettin' mobbed, gettin' stoned
Gettin' chained up far from home
Yet he had what it took
I tell you, folks
He oughta write a book

[Chorus]
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome

[Post-Chorus 2]
If you think it's easy doin' what Christ planned
Try bein' an Apostle, man
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome

[Verse 2]
No swell hotels
Stays where God provides
Lately it's a jail cell
'Cause of preachin' Christ
Gettin' bold, gettin' brave
Gettin' shipwrecked from the waves
Gettin' cold, check the sand
That's how a gross snake it bit his hand

[Chorus]
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome

[Post-Chorus 2]
If you wanna see how Paul could stay extreme
Look up Acts 9:16
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome
It's a long way to the dock if you wanna stop in Rome

[Outro]
Oh, it's a long way
Oh, it's a long way
(That's what he told me)
It's a long way
Such a long way
