There's a long line of mourners
Driving down our little street
Their fancy cars are such a sight to see, oh yeah
They're all rich friends who knew you in the city
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 returning
In a fancy car, all the town to see, whoa yeah
Well now everyone is watching you
You finally had your dream, yeah
You're riding in a long black limousine

You know the papers told of how you lost your life, oh yeah
The party, the party and the fatal crash that night
Well the race upon the highway, oh the curve you didn't see
Well you're riding in that long black limousine

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

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

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