She woke me up   With the radio playing   Some heartbroke song   I swear I used to know   She said, "ain't you tired   Of blaming fate   For this desperate line   That we've been hangin' on"   I said, "luck   Is such a funny little thing   Never comes around   As easy as it goes   And we're alright tonight   But it's a long way home"      I remember you   In your daddy's arms   Looking back at me   Through a crowd of hopeful souls   And now here we are   Two old and charmless fools   Fear and failure burnin' down the road   And there ain't much   Left of us   But the flesh and blood   That twists around our bones   That oughta be enough   But it's a long way home      There's an ancient storm   On the rise tonight   Gonna clear the sky   And strip the earth bare   'Til there's nothing left   But you and me   And whatever's waiting   In the darkness out there   It's a cold, hard ride   But, honey, it ain't easy   If you're out there   On your own   Stay by my side   'Cause it's a long way home
