Holly, you don't wake up
You're going out here in a van
Oh, and you're lying straight back
You're going out the way you can
Oh, and your eyes roll back
They roll back to where you been
Oh, and you roll that die
You never get a roll to win
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Holly, you'd best sit down
You're losing the will to go
How did you blow that mind
You never had a mind to blow?
And you love that life
You're going out here in a van
And your eyes roll back
You'd best see it the way you can
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Holly, you laid it down
You're losing the will to go
And you loved that life
You're too proud to let it show
Honey, your eyes rolled back
The best thing you've ever done
And your wasted time
You best let the water run
Holly, you best sit down
You're going out here in a van
Oh, and your lesson learned
You take more the more you can
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Gonna be a long ride down
The best thing you never had
Honey, you're laid in doubt
You're never getting anything done
You're wasting time
You best let the water run
Your eyes light up
The best thing you ever knew
Honey, you best sit down
The good times will come to you
Honey, you lived that life
You're never getting out for free
Honey, you walked that walk
You'll never walk back to me
Gonna be a long ride down
Come on, Holly, we'll take it from here
