Long Long Way Home

Even though the world is dark Try to light a little part Don't go run and hide Give a little of my heart Only then the beat will start Keeping me in time Life, doesn't wait for long Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there You'll know, You can find yourself on the long way home Ohh ohh ohh, take the long way home Ohh ohh ohh, take the long, way, home Sinking in the undertone, Never knowing where to go, How to find something more? Looking for a kind you want, Only then the dreams will come, Knocking on my door Life doesn't wait for long Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there you will know, You can find yourself on the long way home Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there you will know, You can find yourself on the long way home Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there you will know, You have found yourself on the long way home So take the long way home Take the long way home

Early in the morning, about a quarter to four Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door We're heading for the car and we got right in And that's when I noticed the shape she was in She turned to me and said right out Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last Well we drove down town and up in the woods We drove around and around till I understood I was holding the wheel, she was making out And all this time I was driving about She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise There was two big red lights shining in my eyes I pull over and he drove alongside And out of his car and up to my right He looked at her and she looked at him And the next thing I noticed he got right in Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last Take the long way home, take the long way home Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last
