Lyrics for Long Ride Home
By Patty Griffin

Email icon Email these lyrics to a friend

Long black limosine
Shiniest car I've ever seen
The backseat is nice and clean
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 this car
And you flying through them clouds

I've had some time to think about it
And watch the sun set 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 father gave us a piece of land
Made ourselves the best of plans

Forty years go by with
Someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things you say
You wish you never said
How hard would it have been
To say some kinder words instead
I wonder as stare up at the sky turning red

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 as dark as it can be
I go inside and only silence
It seems as empty as the inside of me

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
