The Long Way - Brett Eldredge

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

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

Brother, I think it's time we talk Why do guys like us spend most our lives playing it tough? Oh and brother, I see this world has got you down You look like you look when you got your heart broke In seventh grade by Katie Brown We played ball out in the yard, We raced our bikes, we wrecked our cars Stayed out late at midnight bars Oh, we got drunk out in the fights, fell for the singer once or twice Some how, we made it out alive In the end, we're always there for each other Oh, brother When I couldn't see, you always found a way to believe in me You were the quarterback when I rolled the bins The knuckle ball that nobody could hit If you're the underdog, you're the comeback kid You find a way to get through this We played ball out in the yard, We raced our bikes, we wrecked our cars Stayed out late at midnight bars Oh we got drunk out in the fights, fell for the singer once or twice Some how, we made it out alive In the end, we're always there for each other Brother Oh brother I hope you know I'll take a bullet Stand out on the front line Oh life is short don't you know it Everybody needs a partner in crime You had my back when dad got sick You being there is what did the trick We both thought that was it Oh, you were my first call in that night in jail You rushed in to pay my bail We sure raised a lot of hell I still make you swear to never tell my mother Oh, we will always be there for each other Brother, oh brother

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight. Walking in a winter Wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to say is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter Wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Will pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man, But you can do the job When you're in town Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fire To face and unfade The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter Wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman Tell the other kiddies knock him down When it snows, ain't it thrillin'? When your nose, gets so chilly We'll frolic and play The eskimo way Walking in a winter Wonderland Look at you walking Come, on We'll frolic and play The eskimo way Walking, In a winter, Wonderland Come on, let's go walking
