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
 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 you
 And watch the sun set 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 laid 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 you
 And watch the sun set like a stone
 I've had some time to think about you
 On the long ride home
 Headlights staring at the driveway
 The house is dark as it can be
 I go inside and all is silent
 And it seems as empty as the inside of me
 I've had some time to think about you
 And watch the sun set like a stone
 I've had some time to think about you
 On the long, oh the long
 On the long
 Oh the long ride home
