Long Way - Antje Duvekot[00:00:00]
We bid our friends goodbye[00:00:13]
We promised we would write them[00:00:16]
And headed north up ninty five[00:00:19]
Into the great unknown[00:00:25]
We turned up our stereo[00:00:27]
And felt so reckless and alive[00:00:29]
We didn't know who we would be[00:00:36]
We didn't know where we would end up[00:00:39]
When we headed down that road[00:00:42]
A little food and our guitars[00:00:47]
In the backseat and that old cello[00:00:50]
The one that would get stolen[00:00:54]
In a town in Idaho[00:00:57]
And it's a long way to Michigan and back[00:00:59]
And it's a long way[00:01:04]
Cause it's a long way the clouds upon our backs[00:01:10]
And it's a long long long long way[00:01:16]
And I have never seen[00:01:23]
Reflections of the cleanest[00:01:26]
Of blue as the Minnesota lakes[00:01:29]
Those were the longest nights[00:01:34]
Of wood smoke and northern lights[00:01:37]
As we talked until the morning came[00:01:40]
The light of glowing embers[00:01:46]
As sweet as I remember[00:01:49]
Among the rustling of the trees[00:01:52]
The legend of the harvest moon[00:01:57]
And sweet ballad of the loon[00:02:01]
I felt as ancient as I was meant to be[00:02:04]
And it's a long way to Washington and back[00:02:09]
And it's a long way[00:02:15]
Cause it's a long way the clouds upon our backs[00:02:20]
And it's a long long long long way[00:02:26]
I called you from a payphone[00:03:05]
In windy cold Missoula[00:03:06]
And then from Midland in the rain[00:03:08]
A place as proud and sad as[00:03:14]
The South Dakota badlands[00:03:17]
It touched me more than I could explain[00:03:20]
The dirt poor reservation[00:03:26]
Where the Avala nation[00:03:29]
Tries to hang on to its ways[00:03:32]
Feather and peyote pipe and[00:03:37]
A six pack of miller light[00:03:40]
Sits on the dashboard of a beat up Chevrolet[00:03:43]
And it's a long way to tennessee and back[00:03:48]
And it's a long way[00:03:54]
Cause it's a long way on the worn out heels of Kerouac[00:04:00]
And it's a long long long long way[00:04:06]
Out in California[00:04:13]
We touched the other ocean[00:04:16]
And I still have that jar of sand[00:04:19]
In the Arizona desert[00:04:25]
The sky goes on forever[00:04:27]
You've never seen a thing as grand[00:04:30]
And North Montana was cold[00:04:36]
She keeps her secrets frozen[00:04:39]
Under glaciers way up north[00:04:42]
And people have got lost up there[00:04:48]
In the home of the grizzly bear[00:04:50]
And you can ask the mountain[00:04:53]
But the mountain doesn't care[00:04:57]
And it's a long way to Delaware and back[00:04:59]
And it's a long way[00:05:04]
Cause it's a long way the clouds up on our backs[00:05:10]
And it's a long long long long way[00:05:16]
Cause it's a long way on the worn out heels of Kerouac[00:05:22]
And it's a long long long long way[00:05:28]
