Long Way Back Home

We weren't even supposed to be there
 It was just another run
 Took a detour cross the river
 Make it back home before dawn
 And my hands they took to shaking
 When I see headlights down the road
 Mid-July in Arkansas it sure ain't cause I'm cold
 In my hand I hold a pistol
 In my heart I hold the weight
 ♪
 Well it's been twenty years now
 Since my father passed away
 It's been me and my brothers since
 And we learned to make our way
 One went in the army and one was a marine
 But since they came back home
 We just been taking what we need
 Never really think about what's outside the law
 ♪
 And it's a long way back home
 ♪
 it's a long way back home
 ♪
 Well it wasn't supposed to be like this
 Thought no one was around
 I never saw it coming
 Heard the shots and hit the ground
 That's when the screaming started
 And I started up the car
 We headed for I-40
 Hope they don't follow that far
 In my hand I hold a pistol
 In my heart I hold the weight
 ♪
 it's a long way back home
 ♪
 it's a long way back home
 We grew up quick
 We grew up strong
 Hoping that's enough to get us home
 ♪
 And it's a long way back home
 ♪
 it's a long way back home
 ♪
 it's a long way back home
 Long way
 Long way back home
