Taking The Long Way

(album: Earned It - 2023)

I was thinking 'bout a front porch kiss 'bout to drop you off
But we got to talking so I wound up circling the block
Then you leaned over turned the radio up
And I turned the tires on this pickup truck
To where the blacktop roads run out
It looks like baby right now

I'm taking the long way
Turning left when I should'a turned right
It's been a long day
Looking like it's gonna be a long night
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
We're taking the long way
Taking you home yeah

Your smiles telling me to keep going
So I ain't gonna stop
'Til the sun comes up or these 8 lug wheels fall off
Well baby we can go fast or we can go slow
Just keep them kisses on cruise control
We got us a wild hare
We gonna get there when we get there

I'm taking the long way
Turning left when I should'a turned right
It's been a long day
Looking like it's gonna be a long night
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
We're taking the long way
I'm taking you home yeah

I'm taking the long way
Turning left when I should'a turned right
It's been a long day
Looking like it's gonna be a long night
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
We're taking the long way
I'm taking you home
Yeah I'm taking the long way
I'm taking you home yeah
