long, long way home
Drivin' down the interstate
In a beat up old V8
My brain is sickly yellow from the cold
Truth be told
I'd rather be back where the roses bloom
Seems I've never seen the sun
And the clouds begin to run
In a watercolor wash of black and gray
All the way
And the radio keeps saying
It's a long way,
A long, long, long way home,
A long way home
A long way home
Summer days with you and I
And the flowers and the sky
Play on the whitewashed screen behind my eyes
No surprise
That I should find without you its a
Long way,
A long, long, long way home,
A long way home
A long way home
Where the heart is
Home, where you can always go
But a place to hang my hat ain't nothin' if I'm not where you're at
And the winter days go on and on
Without you I can't find my way back home.
So the winter crowds the car
And I wonder where you are
But I'll keep movin' on to warmer days
Clear the haze
And maybe it don't matter
It's a long way home.
