Colby Keeling – Long Way Home Lyrics

Verse 1
From the wide wooden cross in the side of the room
On that old oak tree
It’s the red to the glass and tall swaying grass
It’s easy to see
It’s turning on my pain
Here I go again
Back and fourth, up and down
Trying to make it all make sense

Chorus3
Everyday I wind up here
Riding through gears
Winding down the same old back road with the windows down
Chasing down some old memory
It’s like I make this drive just to cry
But I guess that’s what I need sometimes
When I can’t face that you’re really gone
Cause everyday I take the long way home

Verse 2
But it’s out of my way
Two miles stretch is all that’s left
Of back in the day
That road sign is still missing
Can’t believe they didn’t fix it
But that’s better that way
I could still see us camping out
Two fishing poles and six pack
Crossing lines, having the time of our lives
Not catchin’ anything

Chorus
Everyday I wind up here
Riding through gears
Winding down the same old back road with the windows down
Chasing down some old memory
It’s like I make this drive just to cry
But I guess that’s what I need sometimes
When I can’t face that you’re really gone
Cause everyday I take the long way home

Bridge
Man, I’m getting through
Damn, I’m missing you
Sometimes I guess

Outro
I wind up here
Riding through gears
Winding down the same old back road with the windows down
Chasing down some old memory
It’s like I make this drive just to cry
But I guess that’s what I need sometimes
When I can’t face that you’re really gone
Yeah, when I can’t face that you’re really gone
I take the long way home

Yeah, I take the long way home

From the wide wooden cross in the side of the room
On that old oak tree
It’s the red to the glass and tall swaying grass
It’s easy to see
It’s turning on my pain
Here I go again
Back and fourth, up and down
Trying to make it all make sense

[Chorus]3
Everyday I wind up here
Riding through gears
Winding down the same old back road with the windows down
Chasing down some old memory
It’s like I make this drive just to cry
But I guess that’s what I need sometimes
When I can’t face that you
