Long Ride Home

[Verse 1]

Long black limousine

Shiniest car I've ever seen

Back seat is nice and clean

She rides as quiet as a dream

Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground

I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down

Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud

With me riding in this car and you still flying through the clouds

[Chorus]

I've had some time to think about you

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home

[Verse 2]

The day I took your tiny hand

Put your finger in the wedding band

Daddy gave you a piеce of land

We made oursеlves the best of plans

Now forty years go by with someone laying in your bed

Forty years of things to say you wish you'd never said

How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead?

I wonder as I turn to the sky all turning red

[Chorus]

I've had some time to think about you

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home

[Bridge]

Headlights searching in the driveway

Our house is dark as it can be

Oh, I go inside and all is silent

And seems as empty as the inside of me

[Chorus]

I've had some time to think about you

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long

On the long

On the long

On the long

On the long

On the long ride home
