Long Way to Fall

Wherever I lay my head down tonight

Won't be as far as we wanna be

Make my way through June, July, and most of August

Bathing in a creek, no time to dry

Money's been coming in thin this year, oh well

No I ain't as young as I think I am anymore

I coulda done better this year, just got no draw

Pick your head up, twenty-six hours to St. Paul

It's a long way to fall

But it's the closest place to the heart

Fajitas on a homemade grill, ain't no better way

Whip out the guitars and sing them songs we love to play

Howlin' at the top of our lungs ain't a lullaby for sleep

It's the only way to keep from goin' insane from week-to-week

We sing ooh

Monday's already passed by and Tuesday's close behind

Pendleton whiskey empty, done lost my mind

Wake up in the middle of a field, still can't find little brother

Good Lordie, oh my, he went home with so-and-so's mother

It's a long way to fall

But it's the closest place to the heart

Broke down in the desert, wheels off we'll just leave it

No breaks for the weary, let's see how long we can stand it

'Cause it's a long way to fall

But it's the closest place

Yeah it's the closest place

Yeah it's the closest place to the heart

Wherever I lay my head down tonight

Won't be as far as we need to be
