Long Drive Home

It's a dark quiet place where I had a face

And there's a bandage that covers the scars

My rib cage feels bare, is my heart still in there

Or is it that I've gone too far?

There's a hole in my roof where I watch for the truth

But tonight there's a cold winter rain

Like a candle that flickers, time's run out on my ticker

Oh, maybe someone turned the switch in my brain

If my misery ends, I've lost my older friend

And like God, I'll be all alone

My heartache was it and now I ain't got shit except

For a very long drive home

For good and for bad I want what I once had

The Blues was the one thing I know

My heart sang like a cat, now I ain't even got that

And I've got hundreds of miles to go

For good and for bad I want what I once had

The Blues was the one thing I know

Inspiration was plenty, now I'm running on empty

With a very long drive home

I've got a very long drive home
