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 a light up ahead I can't hold on very long Forgive me pretty baby I always take the long way home
Money's just something you throw Off the back of a train I got a head full of lightning And hat full of rain And I know that I said I'd never do it again And I love you pretty baby But I'll 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 But one thing's for sure pretty baby I'll always take the long way home
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 can we finally be alone Come with me and together we We can take the long way home
