Long rider Oh my children can't remember my face I've been a long rider so gone In this tired race I pack my jack and get back home Your daddy's tired of being all alone Prayin' for the rain to wash me away Send me back home to where i wanna stay I've been a long rider way too long A long rider way too long Way too long down in the stomach of the beast Oh my children have mercy on me I turned out the love light And then i got stoned I remembered to forget you but forgot that the love burns on Now i'm lost in the fire Waiting for truth and desire Prayin' for the rain To wash me away And send me back home to where i wanna stay I've been a long rider way too long A long rider way too long Way too long down in the stomach of the beast Oh my lover have mercy on me I wanna go home I wanna go home Before my river runs dry, my feet turn to dust Before the road i'm on goes black And my wheels all rust I've felt pain and counted losses I found the nails that hung my heroes to the crosses I've waited for the holy ghost To drag me off of this wicked coast Prayin' for the rain to wash me away And send me back home to where i wanna stay I've been a long rider way too long A long rider way too long Way too long down in the stomach of the beast Oh my lord have mercy on me I've been a long rider way too long A long rider way too long Way too long down in the stomach of the beast Oh my lord have mercy on me
