A Long Way Home

They closed the pass over the mountains
it don’t open until May
so I take the long way round to see you
I take the long way home
The radio’s singing Hallelujah
but there’s no angel here for me
just snowflakes dancing in my headlights
and a long way home
And honey I will find a way
to get home till Christmas day
I’ll fight the snow if it’s the last thing that I do
but it’s a long way home
a long way home
And you know I tried to call you
can’t get a signal through these pines
and anyway I might as well keep trucking
it’s a long way home
And I’m just a little tired
but I’ll keep pushing anyway
cause I know once I get around these mountains
it’s not a long way home
And honey I will find a way
to get home till Christmas day
I’ll fight the snow if it’s the last thing that I do
but it’s a long way home
a long way home
And it feels like I am flying
tires slipping on the ice
and those lights came out of nowhere
I tried to shield my eyes
I tried
Honey I’m so very sorry
I really tried my best
but I won’t make it home in time for Christmas
it’s a long way home
