Long Black Limousine
Journey of Regret: Long Black Limousine Chronicles Life's Choices
Lyrics
There's a long line of mourners driving down our little street
Procession of mourners driving down the street.
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh, yeah
Notable and impressive cars catching attention.
They're all of your rich friends who knew you in the city
People from the city who were wealthy friends of the deceased.
And now they've finally brought, brought you home to me
Bringing the deceased person home.
When you left you know you told me that some day you'd be returnin'
Deceased promised to return someday.
In a fancy car all the town to see, oh, yeah
Returning in a fancy car for all to see.
Well, now everyone is watching you, you finally had your dream
Everyone watching as the deceased fulfills their dream.
Yeah, and you're ridin' in a long black limousine
Deceased riding in a long black limousine.
You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh, yeah
Newspapers reporting on the circumstances of the death.
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Reference to a party and a fatal crash that claimed the deceased.
Well, the race upon the highway, oh, the curve you didn't see
Describing the accident on the highway and the unseen curve.
When you're riding in that long black limousine
Reflection on the experience of riding in the limousine.
You're riding in that long black limousine
Reiteration of the deceased riding in the limousine.
Through tear filled eyes I watch as you ride by, oh, yeah
Observing the procession with tears in the eyes.
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
The driver finely dressed as a chauffeur.
Well, I never, I never, never, never, oh, my heart, all my dreams
Expressing deep emotions and dreams associated with the deceased.
Yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine
Feelings and dreams accompanying the deceased in the limousine.
Yeah, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine
Reiteration of the deceased being accompanied in the limousine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine
Emphasizing the continued presence of emotions and dreams with the deceased.
Yeah, yeah, they're with you in that long black limousine
Reiteration of the emotional connection with the deceased in the limousine.
