I'm a sinking sun with new horizons Just lookin' for a place to land I'm a sparkler how to be a fire Shoot me down but I'll be back again Tonight I'll hop another train No I ain't go no ETA Don't you worry Don't you cry About my wonderin' soul You go your way I'll go mine But I'm never lost Heaven knows I take the long way home I remember wading muddy waters Before I knew I couldn't swim Now life can go and throw me off the deep end Shoot me down but I'll be back again Don't you worry Don't you cry About my wonderin' soul You go your way I'll go mine But I'm never lost Heaven knows I take the long way home Until that sunrise Becomes your porch light Know that I'll be okay Under the same stars Shining where you are I'm not too far away No I ain't got no ETA But I got some letters that the future wrote Told me to take an old back road Someday soon I know somewhere Yeah maybe I will meet you there Don't you worry Don't you cry About my wonderin' soul You go your way I'll go mine But I'm never lost Heaven knows I take the long way home The long way home I take the long way home
