Long Black Limousine

(Bobby George - Vern Stovall)



There's a long line of mourners coming down our street

Their fancy cars're such a sight to see

They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city

And now they finally brought you back to me.



The papers told of how you lost your life

Of the party and that fatal crash that night

The race on the highway the curve nobody seen

Now you're riding in that long black limousine.



--- Instrumental ---



When you left home you told me that someday you'd be returnin'

With a fancy car for a whole town to see

Well now everybody's watching now and I guess you finally got your dream

You're riding in one of them long black limousines.



Through tears I watch as you ride by

With a chauffer at the wheel dressed up so fine

I'll never love another for my heart and all my dreams

Ride with you in that long black limousine...
