Don't think I've ever
seen your kind of pretty
Wanderin' around this
midnight mad house city
You got a look that says you
got it all together
So if you don't mind I'd
like to know you better
Take me the long way
around your town
Were you the queen
with the silver crown
I want the secrets you keep
The shine undeneath of the
diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
I'd love to see just where your
daddy met your mama
Your hand-me-down
'99 Impala
Show me the field you
danced in clover
The harvest in October
When the leaves fall from the
sky just like a Sunday drive
Take me the long way
around your town
Were you the queen
with the silver crown
I want the secrets you keep
The shine underneath of the
diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
I didn't think tonight
when I walked in
I'd be fallin' for somewhere
I've never been mm mm
Take me the long way
around your town
Were you the queen
with the silver crown
I want your red blushin' stories
Your faults and your glories
that made you who you are
right now
Take me the long way around
Take me the long way around
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
mm mm mm
