[Verse 1]
I got a feeling everything's gonna go downhill
And it's going to go fast
So I, I start a picturin' promises in someone else's greener grass
You see, the wind was blowing like a thousand angels
They got something to say

[Bridge]
And then the charms quit charmin'
And then the wind went dying on me
It went dying on me

[Verse 2]
You see it's gonna start raining now
And there ain't nothing much that we can do
So I'mma go my way and you can go 'bout yours
And do whatever with whatever you think is true
You see, see I've been where the demons walk and
And I've listened to the spirit talk
And you're nothing like me and I sure ain't nothing likе you

[Chorus]
Well it gets cold when you havе to take
The long way home, the long way home
And there ain't no street going down my path
But there ain't no hand that's gonna make me fold and now
[Bridge]
Troubles come and go and they're gone for now
But I feel 'em coming back around

[Verse 3]
I got a feeling everything just went down hill
And it sure went fast
So I, I start a picking up the promises
And I went walking away from the past you know
That demon sitting on my shoulder still talks to me now and then
But I'm doing my best to not blame you
And I'm doing my best to not give in

[Chorus]
It gets cold when you have to take
The long way home, the long way home
And there ain't no street going down my path
But there ain't no hand that's gonna make me fold

[Outro]
It gets cold when you have to take
The long way home, the long way home
And there ain't nobody gonna help you now
It's the simple things you learn from being alone
And now, troubles come and go and they're gone for now
