Well I stumbled in the darkness I'm lost and alone I said I'd go before us And show the way back home Is there a up ahead I can't hold onto very long Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the way home
Money'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 And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way
I put food on the table And roof overhead But I'd trade it all tomorrow The highway instead Watch your back if I should tell you Loves the only 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 world I'm your woman You know you are my pearl Let's go out past the party lights We can finally be alone with me and we 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
