Lyrics
Long Road Back
I said father, it?s time for me to leave home
Took my life savings, my new car, and I was gone
I was racing hard down a fast, fast track
It?s a short road there, but a long road back
Spent all my money on cocaine
Made a lot of new friends, but I didn?t know their names
I was racing hard down a fast, fast track
It?s a short road there, but a long road back
It?s a long, long highway, with no shoes on my feet
Been walking for days without a bite to eat
I was racing hard down a fast, fast track
It?s a short road there, but a long road back
On the long road back, to my fathers house
Oh sweet Jesus, make it stop raining
Words and music by, david james guinn
