I took the long way back, round over the hill
Where her memory haunts me still
I went the way where the blades of grass are free
Free from the city and the cold concrete
In my wake is a ripple of years i've lived
Stolen scenery and souvenirs
On my trail where the weather ain't kind
So many people i've left behind
Oh, I know
I'm glad to be alive
Yeah, although
We had to say goodbye
I could have sworn you were born to be here with me
But life weighs more than gravity
If I keep to the road I can make it home
I'll be a better man on my own
