Long Ride Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sun's setting on the state line of Alabama Watching the welcome sign fly by, little red in my eyes Got the radio up and my Ray-Bans on Two thousand miles can get a little lonely When there's a voice on the phone saying, "Baby, come back" That angel waiting on the other side of morning Keeps the horses running fast [Chorus] It's gonna be a long ride home Rolling 18 wheels down an open road Hauling a heartache and a heavy load It's just another long night alone When she's on my mind Pushing eighty-five never felt so slow It's gonna be a long ride home [Verse 2] Another nowhere town, another neon truck stop Midnight pullin' in, fill it up, little coffee in my cup Couple scratch-offs and a pack of smokes (Mmm) It ain't easy on her, me being gone But it's nothing new (It's nothing new) It's just the way it is when you got a job That somebody's gotta do [Chorus] It's gonna be a long ride home Rolling 18 wheels down an open road Hauling a heartache and a heavy load It's just another long night alone When she's on my mind Pushing eight-five never felt so slow It's gonna be a long ride home [Post-Chorus] (Oh, yeah) [Bridge] Well, it's all exit signs, white broken lines Just living them highway songs Putting in the work 'til I get to her Yeah, I'll keep keepin' on [Chorus] This long ride home Rolling 18 wheels down an open road Hauling a heartache and a heavy load It's just another long night alone When she's on my mind Pushing eighty-five never felt so slow It's gonna be a long ride home [Outro] (Oh, yeah) A long ride home It's gonna be a long ride home
