Waylon Jennings, Sesame Street, Big Bird - Ain’t No Road Too Long lyrics

So you are the bird on the run, huh?

Oh, yeah! And I can't wait to get
Back to my real home on
Sesame Street! I figure I can walk
Back there in, oh, about, uh, three hours

Three hours? More like three weeks, buddy

Three weeks? Oh, no! I'll never get home

Sure you will you just gotta keep going pick
Up your feet and follow your beak

Oh, I don't know

Listen to me, son

I found out a long time ago
You gotta learn to say "yes"
When life says "no"
Don't dwell on the bad
Times once they're past
That kind of thinking gets you nowhere fast

Cause there ain't no mountain
You can't climb if you hang on tight and
Just make up your mind
Once you set your heart to movin' on
Son, there ain't no road too long

Don't look back, don't you turn around
Just keep your eye on where you're bound
And you're bound to get from here to there
Cause a dream can take you anywhere

Ooh! Take me to cookies!

Cause there ain't no mountain
You can't climb if you hang on tight and
Just make up your mind
Once you set your heart to moving on
No, there is no road too long!

And you can count the telephone poles!
One telephone pole! Two telephone pole!
Three telephone pole! Four telephone poles!

Oscar! This isn't Route 12!

Picky, picky, picky!

Oh no!

I never promised you a road

Oh, we're gonna find him alright, Bert

Yeah

Hey, you remember what color he is?

What?

He's yellow

Ernie!

Cause there ain't no mountain
You can't climb if you hang on tight and
Just make up your mind
Once you set your heart to movin' on
No, there ain't no road too long

Cause there ain't no mountain
You can't climb that's right!
If you hang on tight and
Just make up your mind uh huh!
Once you set your heart to movin' on
Sing it! There ain't no road too long
There ain't no road too long
There ain't no road too long
No, there ain't no road too long

You're right if I just keep on going
Everything will turn out fine
