## Title:: Long Road Back **(Verse 1 )** *(Moaning steel guitar, acoustic guitar intro)* She said "I wish I could find a reason That made me want to stay with you" My hangover days from the wild whiskey ways Had her feeling more than being blue I should have seen in her eyes That she was done with the lies She had lost the will to fight And that there was nothing I could do To win her over, or somehow make it right She said… *(rising steel guitar)* **(Chorus -** I’m a long, long way from loving you After all you’ve done and put me through We all make mistakes They all come with weight And baby, we’ve paid a heavy toll. Seasons will change, and hearts will too And some things that I know are true, It’s a long road back to loving someone And even longer back to you. **(Verse 2)** Now the front door never swings in the frame And I can't find the breath to call her name The kitchen is nothing but empty space With years of regret I have to face I'm just a man in a house that's gone cold Trading my days for the lies that I told. **(Bridge)** Sometimes a "sorry" comes a mile too late When you’ve already sealed your own dark fate You can't build a home on shifting sand Or hold onto water with an open hand. **(Chorus)** I’m a long, long way from loving you After all you’ve done and put me through We all make mistakes They all come with weight And baby, we’ve paid a heavy toll. Seasons will change, and hearts will too And some things that I know are true, It’s a long road back to loving someone And even longer back to you. **(Outro)** *(Slow, lonesome acoustic strumming)* Even longer back to you... Yeah, I’m paying that toll... Just a long road back... *(Fade out)*
