Pearce, Riley - The Long Road Lyrics

Everybody wants to hear about if you got lost or if you broke down
I was treading my way through the tall grass tryna find a reason to be there
I don't know much but I know that things will never change
If you keep doing the same thing the same way

You gotta slow down and let your focus drift
You gotta take the time
You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime
You gotta
You gotta stick out your neck just to get over the line
You gotta fall in love with the long road

She pours coffee direct into her bloodstream
It's poison in your patience, honey
Get something else to keep you on your feet
Well I don't dream much but lately I've been dreaming more
And you won't believe the things I saw

You gotta slow down and let your focus drift
You gotta take the time
You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime
You gotta
You gotta sip through the water to get to the wine
You gotta fall in love with the long road
You gotta fall in love with the long road

So you heard the warning bells that
Cleared your eyes to the prison cells that surround you
That everyone seems to be bound to

They say your time is up when you're 25
So you hand yourself to that suit and tie
And go down that track
Well darling it's a long way back
Oh yeah that's true

You always knew that you were racing
So tell me what it is you're chasing
Oh, darling that's true
Oh yeah darling that's true

You gotta take the time
You gotta put in the hours to pay for the crime
You gotta
You gotta sip through the water to get to the wine
You gotta fall in love
Oh, you gotta fall in love
Oh, you gotta fall in love with the long road
