Riley Pearce - The Long Road Lyrics

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

I was treading my way through the tall grass
Trying to 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 things the same way
You've got to slow down and let your focus drift
You've 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 poisoning your patience honey

Get something else to keep you on your feet
I don't dream much, but lately I've been dreaming more
You won't believe the things I saw
You've got to slow down and let your focus drift
You've gotta take the time

You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta
You gotta, sift 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
But darling it's a long way back
And that's true
Oh, yes, that's true

You always knew that you were racing
But tell me what it is you're chasing
You've gotta take the time
You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime - you gotta
You gotta, sift through the water to get to the wine
You gotta fall in love, oh you've got fall in love
You gotta fall in love with the long road
