Standing on the ledge, looking down She's got her pearls, wears her wedding gown She calls his name, no one's around He's got her heart and the wind's got her sound Called her once from some, road motel Set out 'fore dust sets on my grille With an empty pack of cigarettes And a long, lonely road home Staying awake, driving through the night Last long haul and I'm here all alone That call is now ten years past She's still waiting for him to come home at last Though the wreck had shown he'd been driving too fast And they found him at the bottom of the pass With an empty pack of cigarettes And a long, lonely road home Staying awake, driving through the night Last long haul and I'm here all alone It's my last long haul and I'm on my way home
