Lyrics
Long Black Limousine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a long line of mourners headed down our street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see
They're all of your new friends who knew you in the city
And now they've finally brought you back to me
The paper told of how you lost your life
The party and the fatal crash that night
The race upon the highway the curve you didn't see
And now you're riding in that long black limousine
You said when you left me some day you'd be returning
In a fancy car for all the town to see
The whole town is watching you've finally got your dream
You're riding in that long black limousine
Through tears I watch as you ride by
With a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up fine
I'll never love another my heart and all my dreams
Ride with you in that long black limousine
