The Long Way Home

　　The Long Way Home - Rosanne Cash

　　Dark highways and the country roads

　　Don’t scare you like they did

　　The woods and winds, they’ll welcome you

　　To the places you once hid

　　You grew up and you moved away

　　Across a foreign see

　　And what was left was what was kept

　　That’s what you gave to me

　　You thought you left it all behind

　　You thought you’d up and gone

　　When all you did was figure out

　　How to take the long way home

　　The southern rain was heavy

　　Almost heavy as your heart

　　A cavalcade of strangers came

　　To tear your world apart

　　The bells of old Saint Mary’s

　　And now the cling of charcoal hill

　　And you took the old religion folk

　　I won’t be home again

　　You thought you left it all behind

　　You thought you’d up and gone

　　When all you did was figure out

　　How to take the long way home

　　You thought you left it all behind

　　You thought you’d up and gone

　　When all you did was figure out

　　How to take the long way home

　　The long way home…
