Testo The Long Road

Take a little while to reach you in the morning
I’ve been driving here since yesterday
Feels good now to get out in the open
It’s been getting far too real back there at home

They found him in the kitchen in the morning
He was such a good ol’ boy, you know
Had a little hard time, had stretched out far too long But no one ever wished to see him gone

Well, it’s been so hard these last few years
I don’t want to face the truth
It was there she told me what I needed to hear

She said, “you have to take the long road
You know that it’s a slow road
And it’ll be a hard road
But you’ve gotta take the long road”

It’s been good to talk to you these last few days
And it’s good to get some space inside my head
I know I need to go back home, I need to see that stone
And stand up where they put him in the ground
Well, it’s been so hard these last few years
I don’t want to face the truth
It was there she told me what I needed to hear

She said, “you have to take the long road
Know that it’s a slow road
And it’ll be a hard road
But you’ve gotta take the long road”

Darlin’ take the long road
I know that it’s a slow road
And it’ll be hard road
But you’ve gotta take the long road
