The long ride home by Patty Griffin.

Long black limousine

Shiniest car I've ever seen

The back seat is nice and clean

She rides as quiet as a dream

Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground

I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down

Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud

With me riding in this car, and you flying through the clouds

I've had some time to think about you

And watch the sun set like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home

One day I took your tiny hand

Put your finger in the wedding band

Your daddy gave a piece of land

We laid ourselves the best of plans

Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed

Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said

How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead

I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red

I've had some time to think about you

And watch the sun set like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long ride home

Headlights staring at the driveway

The house is dark as it can be

I go inside and all is silent

It seems as empty as the inside of me

I've had some time to think about you

And watch the sun set like a stone

I've had some time to think about you

On the long, on the long

Oh the long, on the long

On the long ride home

This song always reminds me of my mom's funeral. She died the year it was released.

This song introduced me to Patty Griffin! I got a stereo system a year ago and the soundtrack of the film Elizabethtown was in the CD-tray. This song was on it and I loved it right the first I listened to it. I had to Google it to find out it was by Patty Griffin whom I had never heard of so I decided to look her up! One of the best discoveries I had! She is a hidden gem!

I've probably listened to this song 40 times now, and I've never made it through without crying.
