Long Emotional Ride Songtext
von Graham Parker & The Rumour

I thought I was a cold, cold man
As a writer you have to be
Got to observe everything from a distance
Record it for posterity
But lately Ive been feeling things
That Ive never felt before
Maybe Im just getting old or somethin
But something broke down my resistance
And opened the door
To this long, long emotional ride
Long, long, long emotional ride
Come on and break me down
Baby make me feel it
At last I get it on this
Long, long emotional ride
I never took one word of advice
Never in my whole life
But now I wanna hear what other people say
Whether its wrong or right
I dreamed I saw a movie of my life


I thought I dreamed it but it was real
I realized I been surrounded by friends
All of the time all of the time
To this long, long emotional ride
Long, long, long emotional ride
Come on and break me down
Baby make me feel it
At last I get it on this
Long, long emotional ride
I once had my head filled with things
Things that crowded my mind
All that stuff that goes
Round and round and round
All of the time all of the time
Long, long, long emotional ride
Come on and break me down
Take this wound and heal it
Im on the train now
Riding the train
On this long, long emotional ride.
