“Long Way Down” by Henry Ray is a fierce blues-rock track about betrayal, heartbreak, and breaking free. Driven by gritty guitar riffs, pounding drums, and anthemic hooks, the song channels raw anger and hard-won strength as it tells the story of a toxic love turned lesson learned. With its explosive energy and unforgettable chorus, “Long Way Down” is a modern outlaw-blues anthem built for rock, country, and Americana playlists.
Lyrics
Well I ain't gonna lie I've seen better days
You tried to take me to an early grave
I can't believe I let you under my skin
And you turned this diamond into rust
You're just a woman that I used to trust
Now I know I shouldn't have let you in
I could tell right away you were nothing but trouble, disguised as fun
Loving you was like holding a loaded gun, I'm done
Cause it's a long way down
It's a long way down
You can't tell the truth to save your life and I won't waste my time
Cause it's a long way down
Well you took my love and my heart of gold
You made excuses for the lies you told
Breaking, shaking, twisting everything around
And I stood by you when the times were tough
All the best was never enough
You kept punching even when I hit the ground
And I could tell right away you were nothing but trouble, I was so fucking dumb
Loving you was like holding a loaded gun, but I'm done
And it's a long way down
It's a long way down
You can't tell the truth to save your life now I won't stand in line
Cause it's a long way down
Oh it's a long way down
And it took me so long to figure it out
Yeah it's a long way down
And it took me so long to figure it out
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
