The Long Way Home

Verse 1

We could've turned left back at the county line

Been home by eight

had the whole thing wrapped up fine

But you rolled the window down, smiled and said

What's the rush? And baby, you were right

Verse 2

So we chased the sun a little slower

Let the radio pick the songs

You tucked your feet up on the dashboard

Like this was right where we belonged

Chorus

Take the long way home

Any road that keeps you close to me

Any side street, any scenic route

Any stop sign where I get to breathe you in

Baby there's no hurry when I'm with you

Nowhere I'd rather slow it down

So I'ma love you all the

miles between here and the driveway

On the long way home

Verse 3

There's a gas station a hundred miles from town

You grabbed a coffee and we just walked around

Talked about the someday and the good old days

And everything in between that makes us, us

Verse 4

So we kept the wheels a little quieter

Let the conversation stretch

Every mile felt like a promise

Every laugh felt like a yes

Chorus

Take the long way home

Any road that keeps you close to me

Any side street, any scenic route

Any stop sign where I get to breathe you in

Baby there's no hurry when I'm with you

Nowhere I'd rather slow it down

So I'ma love you all the

miles between here and the driveway

On the long way home

Bridge

Some folks race the clock, chase the finish line

Miss the best parts tryin' to make good time

But you and me, baby, we figured it out

The getting there's what life's about

Chorus

Take the long way home

Any road that keeps you close to me

Any side street, any scenic route

Any stop sign where I get to breathe you in

Baby there's no hurry when I'm with you

Nowhere I'd rather slow it down

So I'ma love you all the

miles between here and the driveway

All the miles between here and forever

On the long way home

Outro

Yeah, take the long way home with me

Any road, baby, any road you're on
