Elizabethtown movie - Long Ride Home lyrics

rate me

Song by Patty Griffin<br /><br>

Long black limousine<br>

Shiniest car I've ever seen<br>

The back seat is nice and clean<br>

She rides as quiet as a dream<br>

Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground<br>

I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down<br>

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

With me riding in this car, and you flying through the clouds<br>

<br>

I've had some time to think about you<br>

And watch the sun set like a stone<br>

I've had some time to think about you<br>

On the long ride home<br>

<br>

One day I took your tiny hand<br>

Put your finger in the wedding band<br>

Your daddy gave a piece of land<br>

We laid ourselves the best of plans<br>

Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed<br>

Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said<br>

How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead<br>

I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red<br>

<br>

I've had some time to think about you<br>

And watch the sun set like a stone<br>

I've had some time to think about you<br>

On the long ride home<br>

<br>

Headlights staring at the driveway<br>

The house is dark as it can be<br>

I go inside and all is silent<br>

It seems as empty as the inside of me<br>

<br>

I've had some time to think about you<br>

And watch the sun set like a stone<br>

I've had some time to think about you<br>

On the long, on the long<br>

Oh the long, on the long<br>

On the long ride home<br>

<br>
