There's a place of the edge of town
|
Where everybody hangs around
|
Watchin' the sun go down until it's gone
|
|
Sometimes I drop in
|
In fact more than now and then
|
Lately I've been takin' the long way home
|
|
Sometimes she still holds me tight
|
And tells me everythin's alright
|
Even though I know she is already moved on
|
|
Here I am my friend
|
Where I seen the wind up in the end
|
And once again I'm takin' the long way home
|
|
It's a long way, long way from here to there
|
Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care
|
|
There's really nothin' for me here
|
But I guess I'll have another beer
|
And walk on over there and play one more song
|
|
[?] time for me to go
|
Where I'm going I don't know
|
I just know I'm takin' the long way home
|
|
It's a long way, long way from here to there
|
Getting' longer everyday, oh, but she don't care
|
|
Still sittin' here my friend
|
I knew I'd be here till the end
|
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
|
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
|
