The Long Way Home

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
I got a handful of lightening
And head 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 that highway instead

Watch your back, if I should tell
And love's the only thing I've 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
We can take the long way home (mmm-mmm)

Come with me
Together we can take the long way home (Mm-mm-mm)
Come with me
Together we can take the long way home
