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
