Small Town Shade - Long Ride Home Lyrics

These white lines on the highway, are flying by in a blur
I guess I was blind, I couldn't see how good things were
I downshift, put the pedal down to the floor
I already know what I'm gonna see when I walk through that door

It's a long ride home (it's a long ride home)
I should've never answered that call
I didn't know how quick I'd lose it all
It's a long ride home (it's a long ride home)
This life we built wasn't meant to last
And even though I'm driving so fast
It's a long ride home (oh yeah)

I'm counting down the miles, and asking myself "Why?"
It's too late now to save this. Should I even try?
State lines and traffic signs in my rear view
A mind full of memories of all the things that I put her through

It's a long ride home (it's a long ride home)
I should've never answered that call
I didn't know how quick I'd lose it all
It's a long ride home (it's a long ride home)
This life we built wasn't meant to last
And even though I'm driving so fast
It's a long ride home

Headlights coming from that southbound lane as I'm rounding that curve.
All these cars that are flying by, I wonder which one is her's.
I guess I, I threw it all away (threw it all away)
I wish I had one more chance, one more day
But there's nothing I can say that'll make her wanna stay

It's a long ride home (long ride home)
It's a long ride home (long ride home) yeah

It's a long ride home (it's a long ride home)
I should've never answered that call
I didn't know how quick I'd lose it all
It's a long ride home (it's a long ride home)
This life we built wasn't meant to last
And even though I'm driving so fast
It's a long ride home (long ride home)
