lyrics

Long Road Back ©Swampgirl Music Written by Beth McKee

Well it's a long road back Highway 49
And there's a whole lotta miles lying ahead & behind
I'm on my way and I'm running out of time
When I get back home, wonder who I'll see
Won't be no yellow ribbon tied around no tree
Nobody's gonna be there waiting for me

CH: It's long road back to where I'm from
Seven hundred Sundays in the twilight zone
I am a prisoner condemned to roam
A long road back it'll be so strange
To see the same people shackled by the same old chains
And it's a long, long road back home

It has taken all I've got not to turn this car around
You know I wouldn't even mind should it break on down
Leave me on the highway 20 miles from town
When I see the exit sign, maybe I'll pass it by
I've got a wanderlust I need to satisfy
Spinning my wheels on my intoxicating ride
Bridge:
Could it be a fantasy, that I'm even alive?
Maybe I took a turn in the night, crossed over to the other side
We live as we dream, dream as we die
