Song information On this page you can find the lyrics of the song Taking the Long Way, artist - Swingin Utters. Album song Drowning in the Sea, Rising with the Sun, in the genre ПанкTaking the Long Way |
| I came upon a row of pretty houses |
| So still and secretive and nearly perfect |
| Said to myself «it may be worth it» |
| Thought to myself «maybe you’ll be worthy» |
| So I started to take the long way home |
| And in my mind I made the neighborhood my own |
| Started to save but I just owed too much dough |
| Ten odd years, down a different road |
| I’d left my city and I’d left my home |
| I found myself in that place again |
| Some kind of pretty little accident |
| It made me feel sick of being |
| Like I was old and convalescing |
| Gave me reasons to regret |
| Made me wanna forget |
| So I guess the grass is always greener |
| Where all the other homes are so much cleaner |
| The plumbing’s sound and the bills are no bother |
| The cars are fast and the weather’s a wonder |
| No, I’m never gonna take the long way home |
| I might stop to chew the scenery alone |
| But I won’t swallow it whole |
