The Long Road - Riley Pearce

Everybody wants to hear about if you got lost or if you broke down

I was treading my way through the tall grass tryna find a reason to be there

I don’t know much but I know that things will never change

If you keep doing the same thing the same way

You gotta slow down and let your focus drift

You gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime

You gotta

You gotta stick out your neck just to get over the line

You gotta fall in love with the long road

She pours coffee direct into her bloodstream

It’s poison in your patience, honey

Get something else to keep you on your feet

Well I don’t dream much but lately I’ve been dreaming more

And you won’t believe the things I saw

You gotta slow down and let your focus drift

You gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime

You gotta

You gotta sip through the water to get to the wine

You gotta fall in love with the long road

You gotta fall in love with the long road

So you heard the warning bells that

Cleared your eyes to the prison cells that surround you

That everyone seems to be bound to

They say your time is up when you’re 25

So you hand yourself to that suit and tie

And go down that track

Well darling it’s a long way back

Oh yeah that’s true

You always knew that you were racing

So tell me what it is you’re chasing

Oh, darling that’s true

Oh yeah darling that’s true

You gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime

You gotta

You gotta sip through the water to get to the wine

You gotta fall in love

Oh, you gotta fall in love

Oh, you gotta fall in love with the long road
