We're a long haul, Honey, the road is rugged and smooth
Sometimes we're deep in a groove
And then we fall out but we're in it
Woohoo that's how it felt
When the open road first made a way for us
And every song in my head was the Hallelujah Chorus
We were on our way
Halfway through the California desert
With its vast and endless views
We learned that a little too much freedom
Doesn't always feel good to you
We're a long haul, Honey, the road is rugged and smooth
Sometimes we're deep in a groove
And then we fall out but we're in it
There was the trip to Canada
With your brothers strong and true
And everything was long distance with you
As you went ahead of me
There were bitter nights when heated fights
Would have been better than the freeze
We had to let it melt to get at what we felt
Now we're back in 85 degrees
We're a long haul, Honey, the road is rugged and smooth
Sometimes we're deep in a groove
And then we fall out but we're in it
A long haul Baby means if someone asks you maybe
Would you like to take a trip on the side?
You're able to stop in your furious tracks
And look back and say
Nah, I got a ride
We're a long haul, Honey, the road is rugged and smooth
Sometimes we're deep in a groove
And then we fall out but we're in it
Always in it
We're a long haul, Honey, the road is rugged and smooth
Sometimes we're deep in a groove
And then we fall out but we're in it
[long fade out, riffing on the Chorus]
