Long And Black Limousine
(Words & music by V. Stovall - B. George)

There s a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars

are such a sight to see, oh yea
They re all rich friends who knew you in the scene
And now they ve finally brought you
Brought you home to me

When you left you know you told me
That some day you d be returnin
In a fancy car, all the town to see, oh yea
Well now everyone is watching you
You finally had your dream, yea
You re ridin in a long black limousine

You know the papers told of how you lost your life oh yea
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well the race along the highway, oh the curve you didn t see
When you re riding in that long black limousine

Through tear filled eyes I watch as you pass by oh yea
A chauffeur, a chauffeur at the wheel dressed up so fine
Well I never, I never, never, never
Oh my heart, all my dreams yea, they re with you
In that long black limousine

Yea, yea, they re with you in that long black limousine
