You are a highway with no exits
They say she drove you to extremes
She couldn't stand that endless freeway
"free" is never what it seemed
She saw you from afar
But you went the distance for her soul
She could never pay you back
So she just took her toll
It's a long way home, this time
You are a highway with no exits
They say you took her for a ride
But you just paved your way to heartache
And froze all up inside
You thought you knew the signs
But she walked out on you
All that open sky
Never felt so blue
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home, this time
She was out of this world but you were out of your mind
A heartless expedition to the steady and the kind
Your are a highway with no exits
They say she drove all over you
You kept looking 'round for answers
While nothing dawned on you
You are a highway with no exits
They say you should have known
But who are they to tell you -
Those who've not been shown
The long way home
The long way home
The long way home, this time
Love can take you back or it can make you lose your mind
Now they're lining up to take your place - the eager and the blind
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
