Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the way, all the way, all the way to Nashville
We talked about God and the Devil
Everyone I know can sense armageddon
We wanna believe in somethin', we're unsettled
[Verse 2]
My grandfather had a telescope and a magnifying glass
Through the scope on starry nights, we saw forever
And in the morning Florida sun, I burned the grass
With my magnifying glass
[Verse 3]
Look long, look long, look long
[Verse 4]
There's a reason, there's a reason that they call it a Hail Mary
It's all or nothin' on a prayer
On the brink of loss, we take our last shot
With my shaky faith, will you still be there?
[Verse 5]
My grandmother had Apollo mission glasses
Etched in red, white, and blue commemoration
I'm no AWOL patriot because I've dodged your party lines
I will always love my troubled nation, this beautiful land
[Verse 6]
Look long, look long, look long
[Verse 7]
Me and Marsha went walking up in northern Minnesota
On a night so freezing cold the Earth stood still
She talked about the prophecies and the future generations
And said, "will you keep the faith?"
I said, "I will, I will, I will"
[Verse 8]
So we argue and we wrestle and we claim conviction
Though we might as well be flippin' coins
More would be revealed if we'd adjust the focus
On the shortest between two points
[Verse 9]
'Cause these aren't the best of times, and they're not the worst
Just like the edge of the Earth is an illusion
God bless our brave little hearts and our inherent limitations
And our short-sighted plans and our collusion
[Verse 10]
Look long, look long, look long
Look long, look long, look long
