I've spent my life out on the road Those miles and nights have put their weight inside these bones The sun is set; the day is done No matter how you stall, the night will surely come And now I'm never going back As the world it spins into the black I have felt a lot of pain Proof enough that I've been dealt a lot of change Ain't it funny that if you go In the same direction long enough, you return home Now I'm never going back As the world it spins into the black It's a long way No matter how I choose to navigate It's a long day Wishin' I had it back when it starts to fade And the longer I wait The more it seems life can change in the blink of eye "Blood is thicker," some might say, "Than water at the end of the day" I knew exactly what they meant But they forgot the part about the covenant Now I'm never going back As the world it spins into the black It's a long way No matter how I choose to navigate It's a long day Where will I be when it starts to fade? What will the sun bring to me the next day? Where will I be when the seasons change? I took the long way back home Those miles and nights have put their weight inside these songs
