She was lost out on the highway

The queen of the broken hearts club

She had tried it and tried it his way

'Cause her way was never good enough

Seven riders went down to the water

Seven riderless horses returned

Seven times she had bought sold or bartered

And she thought as her life crashed and burned

"I'll take the long road tonight'

Take the long road tonight

There were wide-open spaces here

Where the wide-open dreams never died

There were green-field oases here

And a stone-cold heart pushed them aside

Seven times there were arrows that missed her

Seven tears had all dried on her cheeks

And her dreams were like children within her

She had not thought to feed them for weeks

On the long road tonight

And there was something about him

That never felt right

And something just shattered

And sent her down the long road tonight

She's on the long road tonight

Well it's a lonely, lonely road

It's a lonely lonely road

It's a lonely lonely road

It's a long road

It's a lonely lonely road

It's a lonely lonely road tonight

It's a long road tonight

Hit the road baby

Hit the road baby

It don't get any better than this baby
