Long Way 'Round

(album: Freewheelin' Woman - 2022)

Oh I went down the other day
See what the gypsy had to say
She offered me a piece of advice

She said ooh child whatcha gonna do
You been looking mighty blue so
I'm a tell you a secret about life

It's two steps up
One step back
Forward progress
You won't collapse

Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Sometimes it's the long way round
You gotta get lost
To be found

She said ooh child you know you stand
On the shoulders of everyone
Who would not go down without a fight

You know in times like these
When life is a mystery
Just keep walking with the light

Keep those flowers in your hair
And the stars in your eyes
We all fall down
Then we rise

Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Sometimes it's the long way round
You gotta get lost
To be found

Problems might appear
Closer in the rear view mirror
You gotta let em go
Let em go

If there's any spirits out there
Listening on the wind
Oh I think I hear something
You're gonna love to live again

Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Sometimes it's the long way round
You gotta get lost
To be found

Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo
Sometimes it's the long way round
You gotta get lost
To be found

Woohoo
Woohoo
Woohoo
Sometimes it's the long way round
You gotta get lost
To be found
