 The verses consist of these same pattern, for simplicity I'm just going to label the
 chords D* and A* for the patterns above
Yeah,  it's been a lonely road
 I've been out singing about love with a heart of stone
That's  when the going got tough
 I spent some lonely nights on the longest highway home
 This is the longest  highway  I've  been on
 On the loneliest day you've  ever known
This  one goes out to the fools
 All you boys in the back hanging out, you got a love back home
But  when you're with your friends
 There's no goddamn place in the world that you'd rather be
 No!
 This is the longest  highway  I've  been on
 On the loneliest day you've  ever known
 When the words  that we  say keep  on coming out wrong
 On the longest highway  home
There  was nothing I could do or say
 Those lonely days still bother me
There  was nothing I could say or do
 Those lonely nights still bother you
Yeah,  it's been a lonely road
 I've been out spillin' my guts, but my guts don't know
Feels  like the top of the world
 But do we want to spend the rest of our lives alone?
 Last Chorus: same as before
