The Long Road Lyrics by Colin Macleod

Hold Fast

2020

[Verse 1]
Take a little while to reach you in the morning
I've been driving here since yesterday
Feels good now to get out in the open
It's been getting far too real back there at home
[Verse 2]
They found him in the kitchen in the morning
He was such a good ol' boy, you know
Had a little hard time, had stretched out far too long
But no one ever wished to see him gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's been so hard these last few years
I don't want to face the truth
It was there she told me what I needed to hear
[Chorus]
She said, "you have to take the long road
You know that it's a slow road
And it'll be a hard road
But you’ve gotta take the long road"
[Verse 3]
It's been good to talk to you these last few days
And it's good to get some space inside my head
I know I need to go back home, I need to see that stone
And stand up where they put him in the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's been so hard these last few years
I don't want to face the truth
It was there she told me what I needed to hear
[Chorus]
She said, "you have to take the long road
Know that it's a slow road
And it'll be a hard road
But you've gotta take the long road"
[Outro]
Darlin' take the long road
I know that it's a slow road
And it'll be hard road
But you've gotta take the long road
