Artist/Band: Patty Griffin
Lyrics for Song: Long Ride Home
Lyrics for Album: Elizabethtown Soundtrack Vol 1 [2005]



PRELong black limousine

Shiniest car I've ever seen

The backseat is nice and clean

Rides as quiet as a dream



Someone dug a hole

Six long feet in the ground

I said goodbye to you

And I threw my roses down

Ain't nothing left at all

In the end of being proud

With me riding in this car

And you flying through them clouds



I've had some time to think about it

And watch the sun set like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home



One day I took your tiny hand

Put your finger in the wedding band

Your daddy gave us a piece of land

Made ourselves the best of plans



Forty years go by with

Someone laying in your bed

Forty years of things you say

You wish you'd never said

How hard would it have been

To say some kinder words instead

I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red



I've had some time to think about it

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home



Headlights searching down the driveway

The house as dark as it can be

I go inside and only silence

It seems as empty as the inside of me



I've had some time to think about it

And watch the sun sink like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home/PRE
