He took the long way home...
Down that ole black-top road

Harvest moon ahead
Fresh clover, had just been mowed

Pullin' up the driveway
His house was cool and dark

Turned off the headlights
and put it into park

The days dirty lunchbox
Made his way to that backdoor

She was standing there to meet him
With a look he's not seen before

Why does it lightening
Sometimes without the rain

Why does it hurt inside
Long before the pain

What he feels tonight
He's never felt before

"Down on his knees"
Curled up on the floor

Hey baby....was all she said
As the tears ran down her face

She said...I can't do this anymore
I have to get out of this place

Bag's already in the car
There was nothin' he could say

Beginning of their ending
He knew she wouldn't stay

Sitin' in the dark
Tryin' to think of reasons why

She left without a warnin'
Now only memories to clarify

REPEAT CHORUS HERE

Music Solo Here

REPEAT CHORUS HERE

Well, he took the long way home
Down that ole black-top road

Now he's "down on his knees"
Curled up on the floor


Curled up on the floor
