Graham Parker & The Rumour - Long Emotional Ride lyrics

rate me

I thought I was a cold, cold man

As a writer you have to be

Got to observe everything from a distance

Record it for posterity

But lately I’ve been feeling things

That I’ve never felt before

Maybe I’m just getting old or somethin

But something broke down my resistance

And opened the door

[Chorus]

To this long, long emotional ride

Long, long, long emotional ride

Come on and break me down

Baby make me feel it

At last I get it on this

Long, long emotional ride

I never took one word of advice

Never in my whole life

But now I wanna hear what other people say

Whether it’s wrong or right

I dreamed I saw a movie of my life

I thought I dreamed it but it was real

I realized I been surrounded by friends

All of the time all of the time

[Chorus]

To this long, long emotional ride

Long, long, long emotional ride

Come on and break me down

Baby make me feel it

At last I get it on this

Long, long emotional ride

I once had my head filled with things

Things that crowded my mind

All that stuff that goes

Round and round and round

All of the time all of the time

Long, long, long emotional ride

Come on and break me down

Take this wound and heal it

I’m on the train now

Riding the train

On this long, long emotional ride.
