Last Long Haul

Standing on the ledge, looking down
She's got her pearls, wears her wedding
gown
She calls his name, no one's around
He's got her heart and the wind's got her sound

Called her once from some, road motel
Set out 'fore dust sets on my grille

With an empty pack of cigarettes
And a long, lonely road home
Staying awake, driving through the night Last long haul and I'm here all alone

That call is now ten years past
She's still waiting for him to come home at last
Though the wreck had shown he'd been driving too fast
And they found him at the bottom of the pass

With an empty pack of cigarettes
And a long, lonely road home
Staying awake, driving through the night Last long haul and I'm here all alone
It's my last long haul and I'm on my way home
