LONG RIDE HOME Back Lyrics & Music: Patricia J. Griffin

Long black limousine,
shinest car I ever seen.
The backseat 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 this car and you flying through them clouds.

Chorus;
I've had some time to think about it
and watch the sun sink 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.

Fourty years go by
with someone laying in your bed.
Fourty 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.

Chorus;
I've had some time to think about it
and watch the sun sink like a stone.
I've had some time to think about you
on the long ride home.

Headlights searching down the driveway,
the house is dark as it can be.
I go inside and all is silent
and seems as empty as the inside of me.

Chorus;
I've had some time to think about it
and watch the sun sink like a stone.
I've had some time to think about you
on the long ride home.

Chorus;
I've had some time to think about it
and watch the sun sink like a stone.
I've had some time to think about you
on that long
on the long
on the long
on the long ride home.
