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
