Well, uh huh, woah, mmm
I had a brother, He was going down slow
I couldn't stand to watch him slide
I reached out my hand, He said thanks but no
He turned down everything I tried, everything
I finally had to realize
He was choosing his own road
And the best that I could do
Was wish him well and let him go
He's taking that
Long way home
There ain't no wrong way home
I don't want to judge the man
I just need to understand
He's doing the best he can
He's gonna get there on his own
Taking that long way home mmm
There ain't no wrong way home
Now you say you got a shortcut, to the promised land
And you got the way to save my soul, well
But what you're preaching, It don't fit my plan
Thank you, my friend but don't you know, don't you know
Everybody got to choose their own road
And the best that you can do
Is wish me well and let me go
I'm gonna take that
Long way home
There ain't no wrong way home (no, no)
Don't try to judge me, man
You just need to understand
I'm doing the best I can
I'm gonna get there on my own
I'm taking that long way home
There ain't no wrong way home
Hey, hey, I'm gonna get there
*INSTRUMENTAL*
Don't try to judge me man
I'm doin' the best I can
I want you to understand
I'm gonna get there on my own
I'm gonna take that long way home
I'm gonna get there on my own
I'm will be takin' it now, the long way home
I'm gonna get there yeah, on my own
I'll be takin' now, takin' now, takin', takin'
The long, long, long way woo
Oh, get there, I'll get there on my own
I'll be takin' it yah, the long way home
I'm gonna take it, woo
The long way home
I'm gonna take it yeah I'll take the long way home
