The Long Way Home Lyrics

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 homeMoney's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
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 homeI 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
Loves the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby
I always take the long way homeYou 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
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
