Title: The Longest Road
Words and music by Adam King
As I grip this wheel I know
This car may not get me where I need to go
Cause the oil’s running thin
Destination still under the horizon
As I grip this wheel I’m sure
That the signals I gave weren’t that obscure
The heavens are open wide
And for once I don’t feel the urge to hide
Chorus:
The longest road before me lies
The furthest fields, the darkest skies
And on this lonely road from here
All I need is to know you’re near
As I look at you I know
I’ve never seen something so beautiful
So close to me now
And yet, still so far somehow
As I look ahead I know
There are miles behind but many more to go
This old car won’t carry me through
I can’t count on that—can I count on you?
Chorus:
The longest road before me lies
The furthest fields, the darkest skies
And on this lonely road from here
All I need is to know you’re near
As I grip this wheel I know
There’s an undisclosed amount at the end of the road
And when I give God back his own
I don’t want to stand there alone
