Lyrics

Taking The Long Way Home

Written by: Jim Laev



VERSE A:
I ain't got no helicopter.
I ain't got no time machine.
I ain't got no fancy sports car
To speed me through this change of scene.

I ain't got no wings of silver.
You might just say I take my time.
I take the pains and I take the pleasure.
I place my bets and I make my rhyme.

CHORUS:
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way home
Taking the long way home.

VERSE B:
I am not some frantic race horse,
Running 'round then calling quits.
Sprinting for a couple seconds;
Cutting out when heaven hits.

I like a life that lasts and lingers.
I walk a free and easy pace.
And what is fine is worth the footsteps.
What is good leaves room for grace.

CHORUS:
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way home
I am taking the long way home.

BRIDGE:
And as we're getting wetter and warmer,
As we walk this puddled path,
I don't feel a need be so good at complicated math.

But when it comes to human physics,
I think I know a thing like this:
That two people walking side by side
Might enjoy a sweeter kiss when they are

CHORUS:
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way home.
Taking the long way home

I am taking the long way home.
I am taking the long way home.
I am taking the long way home.
