Colin Macleod - The Long Road lyrics

[Verse 1] Take a little while to reach you in the morning I've been driving here since yesterday Feels good now to get out in the open It's been getting far too real back there at home [Verse 2] They found him in the kitchen in the morning He was such a good ol' boy, you know Had a little hard time, had stretched out far too long But no one ever wished to see him gone [Pre-Chorus] Well, it's been so hard these last few years I don't want to face the truth It was there she told me what I needed to hear [Chorus] She said, "you have to take the long road You know that it's a slow road And it'll be a hard road But you’ve gotta take the long road" [Verse 3] It's been good to talk to you these last few days And it's good to get some space inside my head I know I need to go back home, I need to see that stone And stand up where they put him in the ground [Pre-Chorus] Well, it's been so hard these last few years I don't want to face the truth It was there she told me what I needed to hear [Chorus] She said, "you have to take the long road Know that it's a slow road And it'll be a hard road But you've gotta take the long road" [Outro] Darlin' take the long road I know that it's a slow road And it'll be hard road But you've gotta take the long road
