Lyrics
Long Way Down - Mark Neihart 2020 Night Falls Hard and the Rain won’t Stop The Voice in you Head needs a traffic cop Laying Still but the sleep won’t come Knots you’ve tied, won’t come undone. Is it already too late? Are you already gone? If you’d only taken a different road you might be the better man than the one they know The trade you made happened long ago You bartered hard with your very soul. High and dry in Quartzite snuffed out her love for the final time. And it’s already too late Cuz, it’s already gone Broken hearts need will to heal If you’d only take a different road you might be the better man than the one they know. Don’t let go, don’t think twice There’s no doubt we’re down and out But I’ve been here and helped us through our live But Just who do you think you’re talking to? Your broken filthy words are verbal turds and NOT the VERVE to challenge I And it’s already too late Cuz, it’s already gone Broken hearts need will to heal If you’d only take a different road you might be the better man than the one they know So, what’s this world for a man like this? With a dream of a world that I’ll never see My restless life never settles down What I’m looking for cannot be found Is it already too late? Are you already gone? I’ts a sober thought that scraes me so. You’ll never be that better man that I know.

Long Way Down - Mark Neihart 2020 Night Falls Hard and the Rain won’t Stop The Voices in my Head need a traffic cop Laying Still but the sleep won’t come That thing I did, won’t come undone And it’s All ready too late Cuz, it’s already gone If I’ld only taken a different road I might be that better man that I know I am The trade I made happened long ago The price I paid with my very soul When my woman left with a friend of mind I squelched out my love for the final time And it’s All ready too late Cuz, it’s already gone Now my broken heart can never heal I’ll never be that better man that I know I am I’ll never see that better man that I know I am Don’t let go, don’t think twice There’s no doubt we’re down and out But iv’e been here and helped us through our live But Just who do you think you’re talking to? Your broken filthy words are verbal turds and NOT the VERVE to challenge I And it’s All ready too late Cuz, it’s already gone Now the voices never let me forget I’m not that better man that I know I am So, whats the world for a man like me? With a dream of a world that I’ll never see My restless life never settles down What I’m looking for cannot be found And it’s All ready too late Cuz, it’s already gone I’ts a sober thought that scraes me so. I’ll never be that better man that I know I am
