Jennifer Kimball It's A Long Way Home
You are a highway with no exits,
They say she drove you to extremes.
She couldn't stand that endless freeway,
"free" is never what it seemed.
She saw you from afar
But you went the distance for her soul.
She could never pay you back
So she just took her toll.
It's a long way home, this time.
You are a highway with no exits,
They say you took her for a ride.
But you just paved your way to heartache
And froze all up inside.
You thought you knew the signs
But she walked out on you.
All that open sky
Never felt so blue.
It's a long way home,
It's a long way home,
It's a long way home, this time.
She was out of this world but you were out of your mind.
A heartless expedition to the steady and the kind.
Your are a highway with no exits,
They say she drove all over you.
You kept looking 'round for answers
While nothing dawned on you.
You are a highway with no exits,
They say you should have known.
But who are they to tell you -
Those who've not been shown
The long way home
The long way home
The long way home, this time.
Love can take you back or it can make you lose your mind.
Now they're lining up to take your place - the eager and the blind.
It's a long way home,
It's a long way home
It's a long way home.
