A Long Ride Home Lyrics

Jud Strunk A Long Ride Home

I woke up this morning
Picked my pride off of the floor
Poured some cream into my coffee
Took the lock off of the door
And all the dreams I thought were real
Had faded with the night
And as I thought, I wondered
Who turned on the light

A long ride home, a long ride home
It looks like it’s gonna be a long ride home

Then I thought about sweet Jesus
When He tried to lend a hand
But they cut it off despite Him
And they drove Him through the land
And a young man took a ripping whip
They nailed Him to a stake
Then they gave the Giver lessons
And all that He could take

(Chorus)

Will I ever find again
The love that once was there
Will I ever leave behind this sorrow and despair
In my life, in my time have I tried to hurt
Have all the children’s voices
Vanished from the earth

(repeat Chorus to fade)
