I don't need to be told That what I do is wrong I've been drivin' real far out on that open road I just made it home from where the hopeless go You gave a mansion to a homeless soul Brought me in from out the bitter cold and you'll never know what you've done for me I've been chasing money, you've never run from me Been by my side through thick and thin I get to far out and then you reel me in Bring me back to life CPR Show me my past like a VCR Tell me bout the present like a birthday card You give me a future I can't see too far Seems to hard to ever give it back So just hold the wheel while I hit this track Imma make that vow while we spin these laps Circle the world and we gon' write our maps We gonna tell our story Make our dreams our facts Change our lives so we raise our stats Shine our light baby there's no cap When the darkness come you strike that match And when im striking out you help me swing that bat Got my head all twisted like I still got plets Never stop ridin' even if I'm flat I'm in it for the long haul pedal to the mats I don't need to be told That what I do is wrong I could lose it all As long as your still home I'm here for the long haul baby I'm drivin' recklessly I'm here for the long haul baby As long as you're with me They don't understand me I don't think that they see A little bit of compassion Is all that I need Down in the darkness Everyone knows me, yeah It's the only place I'm never lonely, hmm And I put my hand to the man above Since the day that I found my love All my vows was wrote in blood, yeah I get so high that I'm above the stars Hop in and then take this truck to mars Everyone loves us and all our scars So come on then let's ride the night You can be my gal tonight I'll show you the other side It's the end of the world And the walls cavin' in All I need is my girl I don't need to be told That what I do is wrong I could lose it all As long as your still home I'm here for the long haul baby I'm drivin' recklessly I'm here for the long haul baby As long as you're with me
