Long Way Down

Intro They found Cole at the foot of the elevator

Verse 1 He climbed up to the grain belt on a Sunday He climbed up where the sparrows used to nest He climbed up where he kissed his wife the first time He climbed up to make the long request

Pre-Chorus We stood in the lot at the service We stood and held our hats in hand We stood with the wife and her two boys there We stood like we still understand

Chorus He took the long way down I took the long way home He took the long way down And the road ain't ours alone

Verse 2 He called me at the pump on Saturday evening He said the corn was up and bills was paid He said the boys was good and the wife was steady He said the kind of things a man has made

Pre-Chorus We stood in the lot at the service We stood and held our hats in hand We stood with the wife and her two boys there We stood like we still understand

Chorus He took the long way down I took the long way home He took the long way down And the road ain't ours alone

Bridge I shoulda heard the way he wasn't asking I shoulda heard the corn the bills the boys I shoulda heard the way a man says goodbye I shoulda heard the noise He took the long way down I took the long way home He took the long way down And the road ain't ours alone

Outro And the road ain't ours alone
