Takin' the Long Way Home - Lyrics - Sammy Kershaw

(Scott Emerick, Sammy Kershaw, John Sherrill) 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 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
