Well I stumbled through darkness Lost and alone Though I said I'd go 'fore us Show the way back home There's a light up ahead Can't hold on there 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 Got a head full of lightning And a hat full of rain And I know that I said I'd never do it again I love you pretty baby But I always take the long way home Well I put food on the table Roof overhead But I'll trade it all tomorrow For the highway instead Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight Love's the only thing I've ever known I love you pretty baby But I always take the long way home You know I love you, baby More than 'he whole wide world You are my woman You know you are my girl Let's go out past the party lights Where we can finally be alone Come with me, together 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 Come with me, together We can take the long way home
