Lyrics:
the dark
Long blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
Oh all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in,
Your pretty face seduced me,
blinded me from how you used me
I walked the long way home,
only to get hurt by you again
The longest glange, oh,
muddy waters just a rolling by
All the roads are underwater and all the planes they refuse to fly just
Like a long lost friend wet season again just
to Nashville, Tennessee
Buy a house in Knoxville right by the lake til I get tired of the long road
God knows where I’ve been, I’ll flee away from sin, I’ll keep
of bird while I walk the road through autumn forgotten
All fruits still taste the same grim in another long season
A ghost at a distant, alive in
trees
The redbones are howling down by Wilson's Bridge
The lawmen stand waiting upon Deadman's Ridge
[Chorus]
Ooh Carolina so dark I can't see
Across the field where the creek turns back by the ol' stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready
[Chorus]
You
hard liquor, and see people are books
So you judge a motherfucka by the first page
And a bitch by the back cover
Did the crime with long-sleeves, so
felt so far from the road they tell me
What will I find and who will be with me by the roadside?
The dock I'm walking down is long and dark
I am
Bypass road
I've been passed by loads
Although, passing by is usually what I do
Sky of gold
I know gold shines on an open road
But when I look ahead
what's on the other side
I keep on
Inch by inch, step by step
I might fall but no regret
I won't turn back
Just 'cause the road is long
I keep on moving
The road back home is long and dark tonight
And I know that you're not real but I wish you were by my side
Then I could be just like all the other people
saying,
“For so long I have been waiting for you”
And at least I see nothing else
Only me as I pull myself
From the accident by the road that lies waiting
When I was crowned a mummy¹s boy
by friends I didn¹t like
I made a meal of trips to school
upon my fathers bike
and I used to sit between his
look sharp
Long brown beard and tattooed arms, Yes, I’m a work of art
My stereo is blasting, Zz top is playing loud
Racing down the highway, Chasing
That the road would have
Turned this sharp
Plenty of time has gone by
To mend my broken heart
Three days after
I turned seventeen
I dropped acid
transition
Wait
I don't want to be near
My dark intuition
I need you here by my side
My beautiful mystery guide
Wait
Life is a meteor
Let your
Long dark hair all down her back
The road winds down a narrow track
Sally in the woods
Moonlight falls mostly on her
Something not quite of this
to fall into your arms
And when they catch me it won't have felt so far
This road's so long but I will keep it memorised
'Cos it won't be long until I'm
suspenders and a powdered wig
Dark town alleys been hiding you
Long bell tolling is your waterloo
Oh baby what can you do
Does the light of god blind you
Pulse right with his heart
And a single candle burns
His last warning in the dark
And the music leaks through speakers
That daddy long-legs hold
Three
that song
Tryna find my way back home
I been gone 8 months out the year so far
Made a wrong turn on the dark road on my way back
Crossed through
ain't no cars to pass me
No trucks to slow me down
Two long hours of open road
Until I hit the next town
Red skies in the morning
Red dirt by the road
wanna fall in love when it's right
Look for the stars in the evening light
Driving the road that no one knows
Taking the long way home
Threw my rearview
