Long Way Down - Patrick Sweany

Once they had it all

Much mo' than most kids had

Coulda had a problem with their mother

Coulda had a mean stepfather

Coulda had somebody leave them

When they needed them so bad

So bad

So bad

It’s the people that you’re seeing

When you pass them in your car

They got a mother and a name

They’d probably feel the same

If you were sleeping at a bus stop

They were where you are

Your car

In your car

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

Daytime turned to night time

There ain’t no fakin' now

Powders, pills, and everything

Try to shut it off somehow

Doing things you ought not do

Not givin' a dam

Something got a hold of you

You got trouble with the man

You can’t run away

From that

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down

It’s a long way down
