Takin' The Long Way Home

(album: Better Than I Used To Be - 2010)

There's a place of the edge of town
Where everybody hangs around
Watching the sun go down until it's gone

Sometimes I drop in
In fact more than now and then
Lately I've been taking the long way home

Sometimes she still holds me tight
And tells me everythin's alright
Even though I know she is already moved on

Here I am my friend
Where I seen the wind up in the end
And once again I'm taking the long way home

It's a long way, long way from here to there
Getting longer everyday but she don't care

There's really nothing for me here
But I guess I'll have another beer
And walk on over there and play one more song

it will be time for me to go
Where I'm going I don't know
I just know I'm taking the long way home

It's a long way, long way from here to there
Getting' longer everyday, oh, but she don't care

Still sitting here my friend
I knew I'd be here till the end
'Cause once again I'm taking the long way home
'Cause once again I'm taking the long way home
