Long black limousine
|
Shiniest car I've ever seen
|
The 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 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 the long ride home
|
|
One day I took your tiny hand
|
Put your finger in the wedding band
|
Your daddy gave a piece of land
|
We MADE ourselves the best of plans
|
Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
|
Forty years of things YOU SAY you wish you'd never said
|
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
|
I wonder as I stare up at the sky 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 the long ride home
|
|
Headlights SEARCHING DOWN the driveway
|
OUR house AS dark as it can be
|
I go inside and all is silent
|
It seems as empty as the inside of me
|
|
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 the long, on the long
|
Oh the long, on the long
|
On the long ride home
|
