It’s a Long Way Home

[Verse 1]
You are a highway with no exits
They say she drove you to extremes
She couldn't stand that endless freeway
"Free" is never what it seemed
She saw you from afar
But you went the distance for her soul
She could never pay you back
So she just took her toll

[Chorus]
It's a long way home, this time
Oh, mmm

[Verse 2]
You are a highway with no exits
They say you took her for a ride
But you just paved your way to heartache
And froze all up inside
You thought you knew the signs
But she walked out on you
All that open sky
Never felt so blue

[Chorus]
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home, this time
This time, this time

[Bridge]
She was out of this world
But you were out of your mind
A heartless expedition
To the steady and the kind (Oh)

[Verse 3]
You are a highway with no exits
They say she drove all over you
You kept looking 'round for answers
While nothing dawned on you
You are a highway with no exits
They say you should have known
But who are they to tell you
Those who've not been shown

[Chorus]
The long way home
The long way home
The long way home, this time

[Bridge]
Love can take you back
It can make you lose your mind
They're lining up to take your place
The eager and the blind

[Chorus]
(Long way home)
(Long way home)
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
