[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We weren t even supposed to be there
It was just another run
Took a detour cross the river
Make it back home before dawn
And my hands they took to shaking
When I see headlights down the road
Mid-July in Arkansas it sure ain t cause I m cold
In my hand I hold a pistol
In my heart I hold the weight
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Well it s been twenty years now
Since my father passed away
It s been me and my brothers since
And we learned to make our way
One went in the army and one was a marine
But since they came back home
We just been taking what we need
Never really think about what s outside the law
[Bridge]
And it s a long way back home
And it s a long way back home
[Verse 3]
It wasn t supposed to be like this
Thought no one was around
I never saw it coming
Heard the shots and hit the ground
That s when the screaming started
And I started up the car
We headed for I-40
Hope they don t follow that far
In my hand I hold a pistol
In my heart I hold the weight
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And it s a long way back home
And it s a long way back home
[Break]
We grew up quick
We grew up strong
Hoping that s enough to get us home
[Solo]
[Outro]
And it s a long way back home
And it s a long way back home
And it s a long way back home
Long way back home
