Long Ride Home

[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 stone 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 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
