[Verse 1]
Holly, you don't wake up
You're going out here in a van
Oh, and you're lying straight back
You're going out the way you can
Oh, and your eyes roll back
They roll back to where you been
Oh, and you roll that die
You never get a roll to win
[Chorus]
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
[Verse 2]
Holly, you'd best sit down
You're losing the will to go
How did you blow that mind
You never had a mind to blow?
Oh, and you love that life
You're going out here in a van
Oh, and your eyes roll back
You'd best see it the way you can
[Chorus]
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
[Verse 3]
Holly, you laid it down
You're losing the will to go
Oh, and you loved that life
You're too proud to let it show
Honey, your eyes rolled back
The best thing you've ever done
Oh, and your wasted time
You best let the water run
Holly, you best sit down
You're going out here in a van
Oh, and your lesson learned
You take more the more you can
[Chorus]
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
[Trombone Solo]
[Verse 4]
Honey, you're laid in doubt
You're never getting anything done
Oh, you're wasting time
You best let the water run
Oh, your eyes light up
The best thing you ever knew
Honey, you best sit down
The good times will come to you
Honey, you lived that life
You're never getting out for free
Honey, you walked that walk
You'll never walk back to me
[Outro]
Gonna be a long ride down
Come on, Holly, we'll take it from here
