Andy Northrup - The Long Drive Home Lyrics

I ain't feeling quite so good this morning
I got the sunlight blazing in my eyes
And I got me a memory and a warning
From a woman I cannot seem to leave behind

Cause she's strong and she's true, and giving me the blues
Cause she laughs when I tell her I'll be going home to you

She ain't all that big on conversation
Not when she's got cravings
The sweaty weak kneed kind,
And I give in to her physical revelations
And now she's staying with me as the fuel behind my lies

And I'm trying to stay clean; I'm trying to stay free
Tonight I'll be laying down my head, praying I don't dream

And we can't go back to where we were
Though you won't hear me speak of her
And I can't be the man I was, I know that I can't lie
So all I do is wait for your goodbye

No I ain't feeling so good this morning
The pain that's been creeping up gets stronger all the time
And I know that there won't be too much warning
Till you can't pretend anymore that love let's you be blind

And it's not like there's a plan, it's not like I'm her man
She may know she twists my soul, But she likes how weak I am

And we can't go back to where we were
Though you won't hear me speak of her
And I can't be the man I was, It's pointless if I try
So all I do is wait for your goodbye

No I ain't feeling quite so good this morning,
I got the sunlight blazing in my eyes
