lyrics

Well I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'

It must've been about a quarter past three, when I walked in to see you
You didn't really have much to say, but then I didn't want you to
Well I asked 'what're you doing here', you said 'I could say the same to you'
Then I asked ' you know where we are?', you said you didn't, have a clue

And I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'

Now Jessie says to Micky, 'just how long must we run?'
Micky says 'there ain't no turning back, not after what we've done'
Jessie says 'I know that, but I can't keep going on'
'Well maybe this is far enough, it's been a long, long way to come'

And he said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
He said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
He said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
He said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'

Now you see that old fella, propping up the bar
You know he's seen a lot of things, yeah he's come real far
Well Mel behind the jump says, 'are you alright my dear'
'Yes' he says 'I'm fine my love, but won't you pour me another beer?'

And Mel says 'I don't doubt it, that you've had things rough and bad
But you keep going down this road, and there ain't no coming back'
And she said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
She said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home

It must've been pushing midnight, when we hit that fork in the road
And I asked if you knew the way, but of course you, didn't know
Well i said 'that's all right, we can camp here for the night'
And when that old sun came up,yeah there it was a burning bright

And I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
I said 'honey don't you know, that it's a long way home'
Oh it's a long way, home
