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
There's 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
Got a head full of lightning
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
That I'd never do it again
I love you pretty baby
But I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
And roof over our head
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
One thing's for sure pretty baby
I always take the long way home
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
You know you are my pearl
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
