Long Ride Home
Your rating:
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>
