Long Ride Home

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

Said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down

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

With you riding in this car and you flying through them clouds

I've had some time to think about it

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On a long ride home

One day I took your tiny hand

Put your finger in the wedding band

Daddy gave you a piece of land

And made ourselves the best of plans

Forty years go by with someone lying in your bed

Forty years of things you say you wish you never said

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

I wonder as I stare up at the sky it's turning red

I've had some time to think about it

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On a long ride home

Headlights searching down the driveway

A house as dark as it can be

I go inside and all the silence

Seems as empty as the inside of me

I've had some time to think about it

Can't watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

All alone

All alone

All alone

All alone

Right on
