Lyrics

Long Ride Home (by Judy Kass)
Your neon beetle pulled up to the curb
I’m waiting for you in a gaggle of girls
Climbed into the front seat next to you
Cause I’m your real best friend, you said
Let’s get this baby to fly
Roll the windows down, a break out drive
I got an hour to feel alive, let’s make the most of it
Let’s go find an open road
Let’s scream back at the radio
Don’t have to ask, I already know
We both need a long ride home
Collect calls every couple of weeks
Turned into months, years we don't speak
Choices made it hard for us
To stand the test of time
Awkward visits once in a moon
Couldn’t end too soon
Wishing we could keep what we had
From dying on the vine
And we’d be back on that open road
Screaming out at the radio
No need to ask we already know
We both need a long ride home
Your face pops in my phone
But I can’t talk to you
Cause you’re gone
Now there’s not much I wouldn’t give
For an hour with you, a chance to relive
The power of two hurting kids
Flying to survive
And maybe I’d find the right door in
Pull you back, let you catch your wind
And, maybe you’d choose a different path
One in which you’d thrive
And we’d be back on that open road
Singling loud with the radio
And we could let all our pain go
On the long ride home
