I don’t know what you’ve been told
I’ll give no excuses
I’ve felt love seen it slip away
that don’t mean it’s useless
I drove down some country roads
back through Virginia
Her love was sweet just not complete
So I’m stuck reflecting
As she’s moving on
It’s been a long sweet hell of a ride
I don’t know where it’s going
So I’ll take a beer tonight
And roll on come morning.
We’ll I’d go back to simpler days
when girls from different states knew our names
Screaming “hey hey” we’ll be alright
“Hey Hey” we’ll be just fine
It’s been a long sweet hell of a ride
I don’t know where it’s going
So I’ll take a beer tonight
And roll on come morning.
We all roll along
I wrote it down, drowned hate out
and drove down the road.
The only words that I heard were
You’re on your own
It’s your life to lose.
So I spent time marking days
and thinking the worst
I dug a grave full of doubt
and felt so secure
It was my life to lose.
It’s been a long sweet hell of a ride
I don’t know where it’s going….
It’s been a long sweet hell of a ride
I don’t know where it’s going
So I’ll take a beer tonight
And roll on come morning.
A long sweet hell of a ride
I don’t know where it’s going
I’ll take a beer tonight
I’ll take a few beers tonight
We all roll along
