Takin' The Long Way Home

There's a place at the edge of town> Where everybody hangs around Watchin' the sun go down until it's gone> Sometimes I drop in In fact more than now and then Lately I've been takin' the long way home Sometimes she still holds me tight And tells me everything's alright Even though I know she's already moved on Here I am my friend Where I seem to wind up in the end And once again I'm takin' the long way home It's a long way, long way from here to there Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care Break There's really nothin' for me here But I guess I'll have another beer And walk on over there and play one more song And when it's time for me to go Where I'm going I don't know I just know I'm takin' the long way home It's a long way, long way from here to there Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care Still sittin' here my friend I knew I'd be here till the end 'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home 'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
