Long Way Home

(album: Based On A True Story - 2021)

Is it me or does everybody look exactly the same?
In a house, on a couch, making out, playing dangerous games

So if I'm being honest
I really wanna leave this party
So how 'bout you start it up?

We can take the long way home
Down every going nowhere road
I don't mind the traffic lights
They're giving me more time
To kiss you slow
We can take the long way home
Mama doesn't need to know
Can you give me that speed?
Small town streets, young and free
You and me and the radio
Let's take the long way home
The long way home

We can say we ran outta gas, got lost and had a flat tire
11:59 pulling in the drive, down to the wire

There's no way we can stay at the party
Baby, drive this Kia like an Audi
I'm 'bout to start it up

We can take the long way home
Down every going nowhere road
I don't mind the traffic lights
They're giving me more time
To kiss you slow
We can take the long way home
Mama doesn't need to know
Can you give me that speed?
Small town streets, young and free
You and me and the radio
Let's take the long way home
The long way home

We can take the back roads
We can take the highway
I can go yours, you can go my way
I can go yours, you can go my way
We can take the back roads
We can take the highway
I can go yours, you can go my way
I can go yours, you can go my way
My way, my way, my way, my way

We can take the long way home
Down every going nowhere road
I don't mind the traffic lights
They're giving me more time
To kiss you slow
We can take the long way home
Mama doesn't need to know
Can you give me that speed?
Small town streets, young and free
You and me and the radio
Let's take the long way home
The long way home
Let's take the long way home
The long way home
