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 the 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 taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
Taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
|
I met the queen of whatever
|
Drank with the Irish and 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 getting' it back on the road now
|
|
But I'm taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
I'm taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
The long long long long
|
Oh , I'll just take my time
|
I won't lay down
|
The long long long long
|
And take he 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 have 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
|
|
Taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
Taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
Taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
Taking the long way
|
Taking the long way around
|
