text: Well, I stumbled in the darkness
  Im lost and alone
  Though I said Id go before us
  And show the way back home
  Is there a light up ahead?
  I cant hold on very long
  Forgive me, pretty baby
  But I always take the long way home
  Moneys just something you throw
  Off the back of a train
  I got a head full of lightning
  And a hat full of rain
  And I know that I said
  Id 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 Id trade it all tomorrow
  For the highway instead
  Watch your back, if I should tell you
  Loves the only thing Ive ever known
  One thing for sure, sweet baby
  I always take the long way home
  You know I love you, baby
  More than the whole wide world
  Im your woman
  You know you are my pearl
  So lets 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
