Long Way Home

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

is there a light up ahead

I can't hold on very long

forgive me pretty baby but

I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw

off the back of a train

I got a head full of lightning

a hat full of rain

I know that I said

I'd never do it again

I love you pretty baby but

I always take the long way home

I put food on the table

and a roof over our head

but I'd trade it all tomorrow

for the highway instead

watch your back

if I should say

your love's the only thing I've ever known

one thing's for sure

I always take the long way home

you know I love you baby

more than the whole world

you are my woman

you know you are my pearl

let's go out past these lights

where we can finally be alone

come with me and we can

take the long way home
