Long Haul

Caroline Spence


Town after town and it's all the same
They say expecting something different’s the definition of insane
But here I go, I follow those highway stripes leading the way
Down that fine line between making a living and digging your grave

But I just shut up and drive
What else am I gonna do tonight?
I crossed my t's, I dotted my I's
And sold my soul to the 1-4-5
Never was looking for the glamour
Know I won’t find it here in Texarkana
Just trying not to lose my mind
'Cause I'm in it for the long haul
Just feels like a long haul tonight

Same thing that keeps you up at night, gets you out of bed
Same thing that keeps you stuck, gets stuck in your head
It's a funny little addiction with no cure in sight
So I keep breaking everything I'm fixing
So I can be fixing to do it tomorrow night

And I just shut up and drive
What else am I gonna do tonight?
I crossed my t's, I dotted my I's
And sold my soul to the 1-4-5
Never was looking for the glamour
Know I won't find it here in Indiana
Just trying not to lose my mind
’Cause I'm in it for the long haul
Just feels like a long haul tonight

I don't know if I have it in me
Why am I trying to fly close to the Sun?
Yeah, tonight it feels like I'm running on empty
But that song's already been sung

So I just shut up and drive
What else am I gonna do tonight?
I crossed my t's, I dotted my I's
And sold my soul to the 1-4-5
Takes a little longer than you were planning
Just like every drive to Atlanta
But it’s just a matter of time
'Cause I'm in it for the long haul
Just feels like a long haul tonight
