I've been waiting on tomorrow
I been waiting on a train that don't ever come on time
Stickin' 'round just brings me sorrow
So every place I've ever slept is just a town I left behind
And now I'm digging out my backyard
For pieces of myself that I buried long ago
Aand I see ghosts in my reflection
But in my eyes I recognize a man I used to know
And now we're a thousand miles away from pittsburg
And I, I got my daddy on the phone
And son I'll tell your mama that you miss her
But go on and take the long way home
And babe I finally quit that drinkin'
I wanna be more like the man that I was when we first met
But still I hear them demons singin' to me
And each melody is a memory that I will never forget
And you say baby please be easy
Cause Caroline this time of year is heaven to behold
Ain't no perfect love believe me
But if you've got ramblin' on your
Mind then I've got ramblin' in my soul
And we got a little less than a bus costs
And a little more daylight for to roam
And it's the perfect place for me to get us lost
So come on let's take the long way home
And let the world wait outside the window
And let your clothes out scatted by the bed
And let your worries disappear as the wind blows
And let my chest remain where you rest your head
So if nothing comes more naturally than sorrow
Then darling your laugh is worth its weight in gold
So as long as you wake up with me tomorrow
Then tonight lets take the long way home
