Текст песни: Long Way + перевод

We bid our friends goodbye

We promised we would write them

And headed north up 95

Into the great unknown

We turned up our stereo

And felt so reckless and alive

We didn’t know who we would be

We didn’t know where we would end up

When we headed down that road

A little food and our guitars

In the backseat and that old cello

The one that would get stolen

In a town in Idaho

And it’s a long way to Michigan and back

And it’s a long way

Cause it’s a long way, the clouds upon our backs

And it’s a long, long, long, long way

And I have never seen

Reflections of the cleanest

Of blue as the Minnesota lakes

Those were the longest nights

Of wood smoke and Northern Lights

As we talked until the morning came

The light of glowing embers

As sweet as I remember

Among the rustling of the trees

The legend of the harvest moon

And sweet ballad of the loon

I felt as ancient as I was meant to be

And it’s a long way to Washington and back

And it’s a long way

Cause it’s a long way, the clouds upon our backs

And it’s a long, long, long, long way

I called you from a payphone

In windy, cold Missoula

And then from Midland in the rain

A place as proud and sad as

The South Dakota badlands

It touched me more than I could explain

The dirt poor reservation

Where the Oglala nation

Tries to hang on to its ways

Feather and Peyote pipe and

A six pack of Miller Light

Sits on the dashboard of a beat up Chevrolet

And it’s a long way to Tennessee and back

And it’s a long way

Cause it’s a long way on the worn out heels of Kerouac

And it’s a long, long, long, long way

Out in California

We touched the other ocean

And I still have that jar of sand

In the Arizona desert

The sky goes on forever

You’ve never seen a thing as grand

And North Montana was cold

She keeps her secrets frozen

Under glaciers way up north

And people have got lost up there

In the home of the grizzly bear

And you can ask the mountain

But the mountain doesn’t care

And it’s a long way to Delaware and back

And it’s a long way

Cause it’s a long way, the clouds up on our backs

And it’s a long, long, long, long way

Cause it’s a long way on the worn out heels of Kerouac

And it’s a long, long, long, long way
