Long black limousine   Shiniest car I've ever seen   The back seat is nice and clean   She rides as quiet as a dream   Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground   I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down   Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud   With me riding in THIS car, and you flying through THEM clouds      I've had some time to think about IT   And watch the SUN SINK like a stone   I've had some time to think about you   On the long ride home      One day I took your tiny hand   Put your finger in the wedding band   Your daddy gave a piece of land   We MADE ourselves the best of plans   Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed   Forty years of things YOU SAY you wish you'd never said   How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead   I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red      I've had some time to think about IT   And watch the SUN SINK like a stone   I've had some time to think about you   On the long ride home      Headlights SEARCHING DOWN the driveway   OUR house AS dark as it can be   I go inside and all is silent   It seems as empty as the inside of me      I've had some time to think about IT   And watch the SUN SINK like a stone   I've had some time to think about you   On the long, on the long   Oh the long, on the long   On the long ride home
