Longest Ride

(앨범: Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy - 1972)

I'm a travelling man
If you can understand me
And right now I like it that way
Sure, it's town to town, and lots of running around but I'm putting a lot of miles away

And it's the best I know, and I'm sorry you can't go
So I'm going to write you a song today

And it's the longest ride I've ever rode
And I'll be back in town next year
But honey for right now I want to show you how it feels again to hold you near

Lord it's been a long trip, I could use a nip
In fact I'd like to get good and stoned
And it's good to know, that the word is go
And it's not another night alone

Hey I love your town, I love your flannel gown
And I love to hear you screaming for more

And it's the longest ride I've ever rode
And I'll be back in town next year
But honey for right now I want to show you how it feels again to hold you near

I can't tell if you're listening well
You might hear the highway sing my name
It says today's the day and there ain't no way
But I thank you baby just the same

I will remember your town and Lord, your flannel gown, but I hope I don't forget your name

And it's the longest ride I've ever rode
And I'll be back in town next year
But honey for right now I want to show you how it feels again to hold you near
(Lord) it feels again to hold you near
