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 18 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 Another nowhere town, another neon truck stop Midnight pullin' in, fill it up, little coffee in my cup Couple scratch offs and a pack of smokes It ain't easy on her, me being gone but 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 18 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 Yeah it's all exit signs, white broken lines Just living them highway songs Putting in the work, til I get to her Yeah I'll keep keepin' on This long ride home Rolling 18 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, a long ride home
