It's a long ride home
You and me would always be
Dreaming of places we'd never ever get to see
Like Indonesia or Zanzibar
But every night we'd end up at a local bar
Somebody told me don't stare at horizons
Unless you are ready to run
So let's save our money
And buy a car so we can drive all the way across America
One day closer till my number comes
We gonna keep on burning till the night is gone
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
We drove down the Mississippi
Past a bus of hippies
Drinking forties and rolling up some sticky-icky
Under the stars or maybe even Mars
Muscle cars all smoking up the boulevard
You look pretty out of the city
You said you love me and there's no place that you wanna go
Alone
One day closer till my number comes
We gonna keep on burning till the night is gone
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
So take me away
Take me away
Take me away
One day closer till my number comes
We gonna keep on burning till the night is gone
It's a long ride home
So take me away
Take me away
Take me away
One day closer till my number comes
We gonna keep on burning till the night is gone
It's a long ride home
It's a long ride home
