Long Way Home - Hayes Carll

Ramblin' boy you been around

From Dallas to the underground

High above and down below

Places I was scared to go

You sang it loud in case they heard

Hangin' on to every word

Gentle as a lullaby

Firecrackers in your eyes

And I would give anything

For one more night to run

For one last song to sing

You weren’t askin' much at all

Just catch you when you fall

On your own, the long way home

What’s that sadness in your smile

You’ve been cryin' all the while

Could you lean upon my shoulder

I guess you’d die to just get older

So what are we supposed to do

Just walk around forever blue

And all this hurry up and wait

Was it chance or was it fate?

You weren’t askin' much at all

Just catch you when you fall

On your own, the long way home
