Long Ride Home

The sun's setting on the state line of Alabama

Watching the welcome sign fly by, little red in my eyes

Got the radio up and my Ray-Bans on

Two thousand miles can get a little lonely

When there's a voice on the phone saying, "Baby, come back"

That angel waiting on the other side of morning

Keeps the horses running fast

It's gonna be a long ride home

Rolling eighteen wheels down an open road

Hauling a heartache and a heavy load

It's just another long night alone

When she's on my mind, pushing 85 never felt so slow

It's gonna be a long ride home

A long ride home

Another nowhere town, another neon truck stop

Neon truck stop

Midnight pulling in, fill it up, little coffee in my cup

Couple scratch-offs and a pack of smokes (Mmm)

It ain't easy on her, me being gone, but it's nothing new

It's nothing new

It's just the way it is when you got a job

That somebody's gotta do

It's gonna be a long ride home

Rolling eighteen wheels down an open road

Hauling a heartache and a heavy load

It's just another long night alone

When she's on my mind, pushing 85 never felt so slow

It's gonna be a long ride home

Oh yeah

It's all exit signs, white broken lines

Just living them highway songs

Putting in the work, till I get to her

Yeah, I'll keep keeping on

This long ride home

Rolling eighteen wheels down an open road

Wheels down an open road

Hauling a heartache and a heavy load

Heartache and a heavy

It's just another long night alone

Long alone

When she's on my mind, pushing 85 never felt so slow

It's gonna be a long ride home

Long ride

Oh yeah, a long ride home

It's gonna be a long ride home
