Long Ride Home - Sara Evans

Long black limousine

Shiniest car I’ve ever seen

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

Then 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 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

Daddy gave a piece of land

We laid ourselves the best of plans

40 years go by

With someone laying in your bed

40 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 at the sky turning red

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

Headlights searching down the driveway

Our house is dark as it can be

I go inside and all is silent

And seems as empty as the inside of me

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, on the long

On the long, on the long

Ride home
