The Long Way Home

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

Is there a light up ahead

I can't hold on very 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

I got a handful of lightning

And a head full of rain

And I know that I said

I'd never do it again

Oh, and I love you, sweet baby

But I always take the long way home

I put food on the table

And a roof overhead

But I'd trade it all tomorrow

For the highway instead

Watch your back if I should tell

Love's the only thing I'd ever known

One thing's for sure, sweet baby

I always take the long way home

You know I love you, baby

More than the whole wide world

I'm your woman

You know you are my pearl

So let's go out past the party lights

Where 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
