Long Drive Home Songtext
von Turnpike Troubadours

I guess what I′ll miss
The most will be the mornings
The squeak of a hardwood floor
As you start out your day

And I've loved you, darling
From across your kitchen table
And I′ve loved you, darling
From a thousand miles away

Oh, I'm still standing here
And I've got reasonable fears
All the houses I′ve built
Came crashing down around my ears

We got a long drive home
We got a long drive home
We got a long drive home
And I′m damned if I do
And I'm damned if you don′t


Home is what you're lookin′ for
Won't you find another business?
If lovin′ songs ain't in your cards
Won't you find another game?

Well, I′m still here searchin′ for
The things that I've been missin′
Livin' with these lowdown fools
And all our stupid shame

Oh, and I still dwell and set
On all the things that I regret
You still can′t forgive the times
That I wish I could forget

We got a long drive home
We got a long drive home
We got a long drive home
And I'm damned if I do
And I′m damned if you don't

Well, people anymore
They got no stayin' power
I love you, come by easy
It′ll leave you just the same


You want somethin′ bad
You gotta bleed a little for it
You gotta look it in the eye
You gotta call it out by name

Oh, and lovers they march by
But they ain't like you and I
They all wanna be Hank Williams
They don′t wanna have to die

And we got a long drive home
We got a long drive home
We got a long drive home
And I'm damned if I do
And I′m damned if you don't
