well i stumbled in the darkness
i'm lost and alone
though i said i'd go before us
and show the way back home
there a light up ahead
i can't hold onto her arm
forgive me pretty baby but i always take the long way home
money's just something you throw
off the back of a train
got a head full of lightning
a hat full of rain
and i know that i said
i'd never do it again
and i love you pretty baby but i always take the long way home
i put food on the table
and roof overhead
but i'd trade it all tomorrow
for the highway instead
watch your back if i should tell you
love's the only thing i've ever known
one thing for sure pretty baby i always take the long way home
you know i love you baby
more than the whole wide world
you are my woman
i know you are my pearl
let's go out past the party lights
where we can finally be alone
come with me and we can take the long way home
come with me, together we can take the long way home
come with me, together we can take the long way home -

şarkının sözleri:
-- spoiler --"long way home"
(hey) i'm driving down a dusty road
(hey) i've got nowhere to go
(hey) no place that i can call my own
on and on this road is burning
(break away) i'm leaving all this crap behind
(break away) the past is gone the future's blind
(break away) don't care how long it takes this time
on and on i'll take the long way home
the long way home
the long way home
if it's for me it's on the way home
(hey) like fragments of a broken mind
(hey) i splinter by my own design
(hey) the search is not a waste of time
on and on this road keeps burning
(break away) my hands are glued upon the wheel
(break away) the road ahead is all i feel
(break away) the only thing left that's real
on and on i'll take this long way home
the long way home
the long way home (home)
i will go alone
i will go and find it on my own
what lays ahead you can not find for me
on and on i'll take the long way home
the long way home
the long way home
if it's for me it's on the way home
the long way home
i'll take the long way home (home)
i will go alone
i will go and find it on my own
