lifeblood: songs: lyrics: long haul

we're a long haul honey
the road is rugged and smooth
sometimes we're deep in a groove
and then we fall out
but we're in it

woohoo
that's how it felt
when the open road first made a way for us
and every song in my head was the hallelujah chorus
(hallelujah)
we were on our way

halfway through the california desert
with its vast and endless views
we learned that a little too much freedom
(freedom sweet freedom)
doesn't always feel good to you

we're a long haul honey
the road is rugged and smooth
sometimes we're deep in a groove
and then we fall out
but we're in it

there was the trip
to canada
with your brothers strong and true
and everything was long distance with you
(long long distance)
as you went ahead of me
(ahead of me)

there were bitter nights
when heated fights
would have been better
than the freeze
we had to let it melt to get at what we felt
now we're back
(now we're back now we're back)
in 85 degrees
(in 85 degrees)

we're a long haul honey
the road is rugged and smooth
oh sometimes we're deep in a groove
and then we fall out
but we're in it

a long haul baby means if someone asks you maybe would you like to take a trip on the side
you're able to stop in your furious tracks and look back and say
nah i got a ride

we're a long haul honey
the road is rugged and smooth
(and smooth)
sometimes we're deep in a groove
and then we fall out
but we're in it
always in it

oh we're a long haul honey
the road is rugged and smooth smooth smooth
sometimes we're deep in a groove
and then we fall out
but we're in it
always in it

(oh we're a long haul)
we're a long haul oooo
(we're a long haul)
oh we fall out
a long haul
honey
(oh we're in it)
oh
we're a long haul
(oh we're a long we're a long we're a long haul)
(oh sometimes we are deep in the groove)
(deep in the groove)
(but we stay in it)
(unknown)
(we're a long haul)
(honey we're a long haul)
even though we sometimes fall
we're in it
we're in it
we're in it
oh
ah
(and)
(okay)
