The Long Way

Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty

Wandering 'round this midnight madhouse city

You got a look that says you got it all together

So if you don't mind, I'd like to know you better

Take me the long way around your town

Were you the queen with the silver crown?

I want the secrets you keep

The shine underneath of the diamond I think I just found

Take me the long way around

I'd love to see just where your daddy met your mama

Your hand-me-down '99 Impala

Show me the field you danced in clover

The harvest in October

When the leaves fall from the sky just like a Sunday drive

Take me the long way around your town

Were you the queen with the silver crown?

I want the secrets you keep

The shine underneath of the diamond I think I just found

Take me the long way around

Mmm

I didn't think tonight, when I walked in

I'd be falling for somewhere I've never been

Mm

Take me the long way around your town

Were you the queen with the silver crown?

I want your red blushing stories

Your faults and your glories

That made you who you are right now

Take me the long way around

Take me the long way around

Mmm
