Im lost and alone
~#**************#~
Though I said Id go before us
~#**************#~
And show the way back home
~#**************#~
Is there a light up ahead?
~#**************#~
I cant hold on very long
~#**************#~
Forgive me, pretty baby
~#**************#~
But I always take the long way home
~#**************#~
Moneys just something you throw
~#**************#~
Off the back of a train
~#**************#~
I got a head full of lightning
~#**************#~
And a hat full of rain
~#**************#~
And I know that I said
~#**************#~
Id never do it again
~#**************#~
Oh and I love you, sweet baby
~#**************#~
But I always take the long way home
~#**************#~
I put food on the table
~#**************#~
And a roof overhead
~#**************#~
But Id trade it all tomorrow
~#**************#~
For the highway instead
~#**************#~
Watch your back, if I should tell you
~#**************#~
Loves the only thing Ive ever known
~#**************#~
One thing for sure, sweet baby
~#**************#~
I always take the long way home
~#**************#~
You know I love you, baby
~#**************#~
More than the whole wide world
~#**************#~
Im your woman
~#**************#~
You know you are my pearl
~#**************#~
So lets 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
