Long Roads Gone Fast (Extended 1)

Chorus

I rode through the night like I had arrows to throw

Played the good guy, but the good just don't know

Had 'em laughing and loving, breaking all the old rules

Now the sun's broke in and I'm missing my truth

Post-Chorus

Long roads, old friends faded fast

Gone slow, times I wish could last

Verse 2

I had 'em dancing in their bare feet, talking in the dark

Took the long way round, thinking it would leave a mark

But hearts, they don’t wait for a cowboy's last stand

And the girls did things they never told their man

Pre-Chorus

Lost a part of me on those wild, crooked trails

Fifteen years disappeared, chasing my own tale

Chorus

I rode through the night like I had arrows to throw

Played the good guy, but the good just don't know

Had 'em laughing and loving, breaking all the old rules

Now the sun's broke in and I'm missing my truth

Post-Chorus

Long roads, old friends faded fast

Gone slow, times I wish could last

Bridge

Took a hard look at the rearview, saw what I left behind

Old laughter and trouble, tangled up in my mind

You can't go back, that's a card you can never play

But I’m learning to stay, find a reason each day

Verse 3

Now I'm picking up pieces from roads I can’t replace

Trying to mend fences with a little more grace

The names and the faces come around now and then

But I’m standing on solid ground, hoping to begin again

Chorus

I rode through the night like I had arrows to throw

Played the good guy, but the good just don't know

Had 'em laughing and loving, breaking all the old rules

Now the sun's broke in and I'm finding my truth

Post-Chorus

Long roads, old friends faded fast

Gone slow, some dreams built to last
