Ride the Long Way Out

Verse 1

River bends where the moss hangs low

Smoke rolls off the back road

Got a six-string humming on my knee

Something calling me home naturally

Chorus

Ride the long way out

Let the daylight climb

Hear that distant shout

Counting down the time

Ride the long way out

Verse 2

Dust on my boots from the county line

Gravel song in the summer wine

Neon moon over washed-out clay

I keep rolling on another day

Chorus

Ride the long way out

Let the daylight climb

Hear that distant shout

Counting down the time

Ride the long way out

Bridge

Turn it up till the speakers shake

Old highway, what a road to take

Keep on drifting past the city fade

Ain't no map for the life I made

Chorus

Ride the long way out

Let the daylight climb

Hear that distant shout

Counting down the time

Ride the long way out
