Long Ride Home Lyrics - All People - Michael Franti

It's a long ride home 

It's a long ride home 

You and me would always be 

Dreaming of places we would never ever get to see 

Like Indonesia or Zanzabar 

But every night we'd end up at a local bar 

Somebody told me don't stare at horizons 

Unless you are ready to run 

So let's save our money and buy a car 

So we can we can drive all the way across America 

One day closer till my number comes 

We gonna keep on burnin' till the night is gone 

It's a long ride home 

It's a long ride home 

It's a long ride home 

We drove down the Mississippi past a bus of hippies 

Drinking 40s and rolling up some sticky icky 

Under the stars or maybe even Mars 

Muscle cars are smoking up the boulevard 

You look pretty out of the city 

You said you love me and there's no place you wanna go alone 

One day closer till my number comes 

We gonna keep on burnin' till the night is gone 

It's a long ride home 

It's a long ride home 

So take me away 

Take me away 

Take me away 

One day closer till my number comes 

We gonna keep on burnin' till the night is gone 

It's a long ride home 

So take me away (Why don't you take me away) 

Take me away (Why don't you take me away) 

Take me away 

One day closer till my number comes 

We gonna keep on burnin' till the night is gone 

It's a long ride home 

It's a long ride home
