Long Black Limousine Lyrics - Merle Haggard

There's a long line of mourners coming down our street 

Their fancy cars are such a sight to see 

They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city 

And now they finally brought you back to me 

The papers told of how you lost your life 

Of the party and the fatal crash that night 

The race on the highway the curve nobody seen 

Now you're riding in that long black limousine 

When you left home you told me that, that someday you'd be returning 

With a fancy car for the whole town to see 

Well now everybody's watching now and I guess you finally got your dream 

You're riding in one of them long black limousines 

Through tears I watch as you ride by 

With a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine 

I'll never love another my heart and all my dreams 

Ride with you in that long black limousine
