fiogf49gjkf0d " LONG WAY HOME"
VERSE 1
IT'S TAKEN ME A LONG...LONG TIME.
I DID IT WITHOUT EVEN TRYIN'.
NOW 'BOUT A BILLION MILES AWAY FROM YOU.
SO IF I'M GONNA MAKE THIS FIT.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUT A SOCK IN IT.
AND MAYBE I CAN GET THIS FREAK SHOW ON THE ROAD.
CHORUS 1
I'M NOT A STUPID MAN.
JUST TAKES AWHILE FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND.
HOW TO FIX THE MESS I'VE MADE.
HOW TO END THE GAME I'M PLAYIN'.
I'M JUST A SIMPLE LAD.
TWO PARTS GOOD AND TWO PARTS BAD.
GUESS I'M JUST A LITTLE SLOW.
I JUST TOOK THE LONG WAY HOME.
VERSE 2
IT STARTED BACK IN 1982.
WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIFT AWAY FROM YOU.
YOU WOULD SIMPLY SHAKE YOUR HEAD AND GLARE AT ME.
BUT THAT WAS THEN AND NOW IS NOW.
IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYHOW.
I'M CONSTANTLY AMAZED THAT YOU STILL CARE AT ALL.
CHORUS 2
I'M NOT A STUPID MAN.
JUST NEVER REALLY HAD A SOLID PLAN.
HOW TO MAP MY ROUTE TO YOU.
(IT'S) NOT AN EASY THING TO DO.
I'M NO MORONIC FOOL.
JUST HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT IS AND ISN'T COOL.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE SLOW.
(AND) I JUST TOOK THE LONG WAY HOME.
BRIDGE
I HAD TO HIT THE HIGHWAY.
TOOK THE HIGH ROAD, DID IT MY WAY.
I'M ALL DONE POUNDING SAND.
GOTTA GET THE GIRL TO UNDERSTAND.
VERSE 3
SO NOW I'M ON THE LONG ROAD BACK.
I'M HOPIN' YOU CAN CUT ME A LITTLE SLACK.
I'M HOPIN' YOU CAN SHOW ME HOW TO GET TO YOU.
I NEED TO KNOW THE LEFTS AND RIGHTS.
AND WHETHER I SHOULD STOP OR RUN THE LIGHTS.
I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE'S A ROADBLOCK UP AHEAD.
CHORUS 3
I'M NOT A STUPID GUY.
JUST HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE WHO WHAT WHERE AND WHY.
MAYBE I'M A LITTLE DIM.
SHED A LITTLE LIGHT ON THIS HOLE I'M IN.
(I) WAS SUCH A STUPID PUP.
BUT NOW THE OLD DOG'S STARTIN' TO SMARTIN' UP.
THE SHORT CUT IS THE WAY TO GO.
FORGET ABOUT THE LONG WAY HOME.
NEVERMIND THE LONG WAY HOME.
I JUST TOOK THE LONG WAY HOME.
