Lyrics Takin' the Long Way Home - Sammy Kershaw

Takin' the Long Way Home

There’s a place of the edge of town
Where everybody hangs around
Watchin' the sun go down until it’s gone
Sometimes I drop in
In fact more than now and then
Lately I’ve been takin' the long way home
Sometimes she still holds me tight
And tells me everythin’s alright
Even though I know she is already moved on
Here I am my friend
Where I seen the wind up in the end
And once again I’m takin' the long way home
It’s a long way, long way from here to there
Gettin' longer everyday but she don’t care
There’s really nothin' for me here
But I guess I’ll have another beer
And walk on over there and play one more song
it will be time for me to go
Where I’m going I don’t know
I just know I’m takin' the long way home
It’s a long way, long way from here to there
Getting' longer everyday, oh, but she don’t care
Still sittin' here my friend
I knew I’d be here till the end
'Cause once again I’m takin' the long way home
'Cause once again I’m takin' the long way home
