Long Way Back Home - Lucero

We weren’t even supposed to be there

It was just another run

Took a detour cross the river

Make it back home before dawn

And my hands they took to shaking

When I see headlights down the road

Mid-July in Arkansas it sure ain’t cause I’m cold

In my hand I hold a pistol

In my heart I hold the weight

Well it’s been twenty years now

Since my father passed away

It’s been me and my brothers since

And we learned to make our way

One went in the army and one was a marine

But since they came back home

We just been taking what we need

Never really think about what’s outside the law

And it’s a long way back home

It wasn’t supposed to be like this

Thought no one was around

I never saw it coming

Heard the shots and hit the ground

That’s when the screaming started

And I started up the car

We headed for I-40

Hope they don’t follow that far

In my hand I hold a pistol

In my heart I hold the weight

And it’s a long way back home

And it’s a long way back home

We grew up quick

We grew up strong

Hoping that’s enough to get us home

And it’s a long way back home

And it’s a long way back home

And it’s a long way back home

Long way back home
