The Long Way Home |
| Dark highways and the country roads |
| Don’t scare you like they did |
| The woods and winds now welcome you |
| To the places you once hid |
| You grew up and you moved away |
| Across a foreign sea |
| And what was left was what was kept |
| Was what you gave to me |
| You thought you’d left it all behind |
| You thought you’d up and gone |
| But all you did was figure out |
| How to take the long way home |
| The Southern rain was heavy |
| Almost heavy as your heart |
| A cavalcade of strangers came |
| To tear your world apart |
| The bells of old St. Mary’s |
| Are now the clang of Charcoal Hill |
| And you took the old religion from |
| The woman on the hill |
| You thought you’d left it all behind |
| You thought you’d up and gone |
| But all you did was figure out |
| How to take the long way home |
| You thought you’d left it all behind |
| You thought you’d up and gone |
| But all you did was figure out |
| How to take the long way home |
| The long way home |
