A Long Road Home

Last trip I said
As I walked from her apartment bed
'Cause I said "Where are you running?"
'Till my lungs gave out
She don't believe me when I tell her
No!
It was not a plan
It was just a gift
This was just a shooting star
And I grabbed hold of it
It was not a test
This was just a space for me to reflect
A space where I had no regrets
And I feel
Like I'm running now
Like I'm headed for a long road home
And I've been struggling for years
To keep my head up off the ground
And all I've got to show for this
Is all that I am left with
My past due bills
And I've got friends
A depleted account
And these string-stained hands
But I've seen more than most
From coast to coast
Living on the road
No!
It was not a plan
It was just a gift
This was just a shooting star
And I grabbed hold of it
It was not a test
This was just a space for me to reflect
A space where I had no regrets
And I feel
Like I'm running now
Like I'm headed for a long road home
Tick-tock
A limerick under your breath
Four words and I know what you're saying
"I'm always coming down"
('Cause I am)
Well I said oh no
I won't go all the way home
As long as you're here
As long as you're here
Oh no, I can't go home
And I feel
Like I'm running now
Like I'm headed for a long road home
And I feel
