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
Is there a light up ahead?
I can't hold on very long
Forgive me pretty baby,
But I'll always take the long way home.

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Gotta head full of lightning
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
I love you pretty baby
But I'll always take the long way home

I'll put food on the table
And a roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back
If I should tell you (?)
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby
I'll always take the long way home

Mmmmmm......

You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
No you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
Come with me
And we can take the long way home
Mmmm
Come with me
Together we can the long way home
Mmmm
Come with me
Together we can the long way home
