Long Road Home

(album: Whitey Morgan And The 78's - 2010)

He's on a lonely road, on a highway alone
He's looking for a reason not to leave his home
A wife and kid on the way, feels like he's living a lie
In someone else's dreams, through someone else's eyes

And he rides, hell every night down that same highway
And he dies a little more inside
And that road, the road is long
And now he knows
Well, he was wrong about coming home

Twenty years now gone, and twenty years he's seen
He think he only take so much, you gotta let him be
Rolling cross these dark lands, living a life less traveled
He turns to that old friend, anytime the memories leave him

And he rides, every night down that same highway
And he dies a little more inside
And the road, the road is long
And now he knows
That he was wrong about coming home
