Long Way To Fall

(album: Men & Coyotes - 2015)

Wherever I lay my head down tonight
Won't be as far as we wanna be
Make my way through June, July, and most of August
Bathing in a creek, no time to dry

Money's been coming in thin this year, oh well
No I ain't as young as I think I am anymore
I coulda done better this year, just got no draw
Pick your head up, twenty-six hours to St. Paul

It's a long way to fall
But it's the closest place to the heart

Fajitas on a homemade grill, ain't no better way
Whip out the guitars and sing them songs we love to play
Howling at the top of our lungs ain't a lullaby for sleep
It's the only way to keep from going insane from week-to-week

We sing ooh

Monday's already passed by and Tuesday's close behind
Pendleton whiskey empty, done lost my mind
Wake up in the middle of a field, still can't find little brother
Good Lordie, oh my, he went home with so-and-so's mother

It's a long way to fall
But it's the closest place to the heart

Broke down in the desert, wheels off we'll just leave it
No breaks for the weary, let's see how long we can stand it

'Cause it's a long way to fall
But it's the closest place
Yeah it's the closest place
Yeah it's the closest place to the heart

Wherever I lay my head down tonight
Won't be as far as we need to be
