| Let’s take the long way
|
| This dedicated to my hometown
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| I’m layin' underneath the palm trees
|
| Where no one can find me
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| I’m smokin' something by the fire, please
|
| Come and sit beside me
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| 'Cause I don’t wanna go
|
| We dream of growin' up but now we only growin' old
|
| So stay up on the phone
|
| We push it to the morn'
|
| And when we hit the road (Yeah)
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| Uh, aye
|
| I swear I didn’t know
|
| How quick the minutes go
|
| I had a sinnin' soul
|
| But that’s what friends were fo'
|
| Never did it alone
|
| Didn’t want to let it go
|
| So please don’t let it go (Oh)
|
| The ceiling’s spinning
|
| All these nights were never timid
|
| Some thought I quit this shit right now, thank God I never listened
|
| 'Cause I broke the limits of this slow town
|
| Where nothing ever goes down
|
| Neighbors said it’s so loud
|
| Like every time we go out (Yeah, yeah)
|
| Uh
|
| We hoped we’d never change
|
| Life came and had its way
|
| We turned a different page
|
| That love was here to stay
|
| Somehow we veered away
|
| One night left in this place
|
| So it’s time that I say
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| I’m layin' underneath the palm trees
|
| Where no one can find me
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| I’m smokin' something by the fire, please
|
| Come and sit beside me
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| 'Cause I don’t wanna go
|
| We dream of growin' up but now we only growin' old
|
| So stay up on the phone
|
| We push it to the morn'
|
| And when we hit the road
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| Uh
|
| That road off Cottage Street is still a big part of me
|
| Buttery Road, don’t drive too fast, that curve startled me
|
| But I could feel this heart of me
|
| Wants something more than I’ve already seen
|
| Or to go down, is that old town where I started dreamin'
|
| That Zoombox
|
| I’m gonna need two shots
|
| That pick me up when my mood drops
|
| Rich girls walkin' in tube tops
|
| Jeep Wrangler with the roof off
|
| If you got a problem, go
|
| You too soft
|
| With the tunes off
|
| Go blast that ridin' down new blocks
|
| In a new spot
|
| 'Cause (Long way)
|
| We hoped we’d never change
|
| Life came and had its way
|
| We turned a different page
|
| That love was here to stay
|
| Somehow we veered away
|
| One night left in this place
|
| So it’s time that I say

|
| And when we hit the road
|
| Let’s take the long way home
|
| Oh whoa oh
|
| Yeah
|
| Let’s take the long way
|
| Long way
|
| Long way
|
| Yeah-eah
|
| Let’s take the long way
|
| Long way
|
| Long way
|
| Yeah-eah |
