Take the long way home
|
She wonĄŻt wait up tonight
|
I can take the long way home
|
And there wonĄŻt be any fights
|
Tonight I can stay out late with the boys
|
Play cards and come in at dawn
|
Since she left me IĄŻve got a choice
|
I can take the long way home
|
|
No pictures on the wall
|
No carpet on the floor
|
No one ever calls
|
No one knocks on my door
|
ItĄŻs just a place where I sleep at night
|
But I canĄŻt sleep alone
|
I think IĄŻll stop off and have a bite
|
And take the long way home
|
|
What makes a house a home
|
is sometimes hard to say
|
You never know all the riches you own
|
Till someone takes them away
|
|
The night is clear and my work is through
|
ItĄŻs a shame to be alone
|
I think IĄŻll go have a beer or two
|
IĄŻll take the long way home
|
IĄŻll just take the long way home
|
