Merle Haggard Long Black Limousine Lyrics

Long Black Limousine Lyrics

There's a long line of mourners coming down our street

Their fancy cars are such a sight to see

They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city

And now they finally brought you back to me



The papers told of how you lost your life

Of the party and the fatal crash that night

The race on the highway, the curve nobody seen

Now you're riding in that long black limousine



When you left home you told me that, that someday you'd be returning

With a fancy car for the whole town to see

Well, now everybody's watching now and I guess you finally got your dream

You're riding in one of them long black limousines



Through tears, I watch as you ride by

With a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine

I'll never love another, my heart and all my dreams

Ride with you in that long black limousine
