Soundtracks - Long Ride Home lyrics

[Patty Griffin - 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 a race car, and you flying through the clouds I've had some time to think about you 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 Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things 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 stone 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 It seems as empty as the inside of me I've had some time to think about you And watch the stone set like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long, on the long Oh the long, on the long On the long ride home
