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
There a light up ahead
I can"t hold onto her arm
Forgive me pretty baby
But I always take the long way home
Money"s just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I"d never do it again
And I love you sweet baby
But I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I"d trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Loves the only thing I"ve ever known
One thing for sure sweet baby
I always take the long way home
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let"s go out past the party lights
We can fina
