(Verse)
|
Beauty like yours tends to me, gets on roads
|
Using people as props and crutches and toads
|
And yet in my name tear long list of fools
|
By the time you read this I¡¯m gone
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And it¡¯s so long, I love you
|
But I can¡¯t stand what I have become
|
Gone to search for my soul on a highway I know
|
Out west where the wheel meets the road
|
|
(Verse)
|
I don¡¯t think you ever really liked me
|
But you sure love a man that you thought I could be
|
Someone you could tame, now you act so ashamed
|
And so disappointed and faint
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And it¡¯s so long, I love you
|
But I can¡¯t stand what I have become
|
Gone to search for my soul on a highway I know
|
Out west where the wheel meets the road
|
|
(Bridge)
|
I¡¯ll be gone in the blink of a taillight
|
I¡¯ll be gone in the wink of an eye
|
The lie is that you couldn¡¯t stop me
|
The truth is your hardly even tried
|
|
(Chorus x2)
|
And it¡¯s so long, I love you
|
But I can¡¯t stand what I have become
|
Gone to search for my soul on a highway I know
|
Out west where the wheel meets the road
|

So Long, I Love You
