Well I stumbled
in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd
go before us
and show the
way back home
Is there a light
up ahead
I can't hold
on very long
Forgive me pretty baby
but I always take
the long way home
Money's just something
you throw off the
back of a train
Got a head full
of lightening and
a hat full of rain
And I know that
I said I'd never
do it again
Oh well I love you
sweet baby but I
always take the
long way home
I put food on the
table and a
roof overhead
But I'd trade it
all tomorrow for
the highway instead
Watch your back
if I should tell
your love's the only
thing I'd ever known
One thing's for
sure sweet baby
I always take the
long way home
Though I love you baby
more than the
whole wide world
I'm your woman
you know you
are my pearl
So let's go out past
the party lights
where we can
finally be alone
Come with me and
we can take a
long way home
Come with me
together we can
take the long
way home
Come with me
together we can
take the long
way home
