Lyrics Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors – Long Ride Home

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
Now I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
Ain’t nothing left at all in the end of being proud
Me riding in this car, you soaring through the clouds

Now I’ve had some time to think about you
And watch the sun sink like a stone
Now 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 us a piece of land
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 hadn’t said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
Now I wonder through the window as the sky’s turning red

Now I’ve had some time to think about you
And watch the sun sink like a stone
Now I’ve had some time to think about you
On the long ride home

I’ve had some time to think about you
And watch the sun sink like a stone
Now I’ve had some time to think about you
On the long, on the long
Oh the long, on the long
Ride home
