It's a long way down ain't it baby
It's a hard melody to hum
And you spend your days with a torch in the rain
Thinking probably no one's gonna come
It's a long song now ain't it baby
Try and learn the words if you can
Spend your time swimming for your life
Hoping there's no more locks on the dam
I've got a jar full of fire in my house
I've been waiting on a friend
I've been sleeping on my couch
If you turn off the lights and the party's through
Come on by and I'll stay up with you
Just come on by, I'll stay up with you
It's a long way down ain't it baby
Standing on the ceiling on the floor
And you're wanting to get out
But no one's shown you how
And they've locked each and every door
It's a long life now ain't it baby
Did you run out of prayers in Tennessee
Did you find something on the road
Something you can't hold
If so, just bring it back to me
I've got a jar full of fire in my house
I've been waiting on a friend
I've been sleeping on my couch
If you turn off the lights and the party's through
Come on by and I'll stay up with you
Just come on by, I'll stay up with you
I've got a jar full of fire in my house
I've been waiting on a friend
I've been sleeping on my couch
If you turn off the lights and the party's through
Just come on by
Won't you come on by
Just come on by
I'll stay up with you
