The Long Way Home Lyrics - The River & The Thread - Rosanne Cash

Dark highways and the country roads 

Don't scare you like they did 

The woods and winds, they'll welcome you 

To the places you once hid 

() 

You grew up and you moved away 

Across a foreign see 

And what was left was what was kept 

That's what you gave to me

You thought you left it all behind 

You thought you'd up and gone 

When all you did was figure out 

How to take the long way home 

() 

The southern rain was heavy 

Almost heavy as your heart 

A cavalcade of strangers came 

To tear your world apart 

() 

The bells of old Saint Mary's 

And now the cling of charcoal hill 

And you took the old religion folk 

I won't be home again
