Around the Way - JDK

My friends from high school Married their high school boyfriends Moved into houses In the same ZIP codes where their parents live But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow I hit the highway In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling Lived like a gypsy Six strong hands on a steering wheel I've been a long time gone now Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down But I've always found my way somehow By takin' the long way, takin' the long way around Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I met the queen of whatever Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies Moved with the shakers Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to No I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow It's been two long years now Since the top of the world came crashing down And I'm gettin' it back on the road now But I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around (the long) Oh, I'll just take my time, I won't lay down (the long) And take long way around Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself I opened my mouth and I heard myself It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself Guess I could've made it easier on myself But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down If you ever want to find me, I can still be found Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around Takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around I'm takin' the long way, takin' the long way around

In the daily rush of things If we stop to think it seems We never have time alone Doing things we have to do Not much time for me and you Before me know it, it will all be gone Let's take the long way around the world Sharing each other as we go Let's take the long way around the world And let's take it real slow I get hungry just to talk Take your hand and take a wake I never have you to myself enough The two of us are really one And when it's all said and done The only thing that really lasts is love Let's take the long way around the world Sharing each other as we go Let's take the long way around the world And let's take it real slow (Repeat twice to fade)
