Take the long way home
She wont wait up tonight
I can take the long way home
And there wont be any fights
Tonight I can stay out late with the boys
Play cards and come in at dawn
Since she left me Ive got a choice
I can take the long way home
No pictures on the wall
No carpet on the floor
No one ever calls
No one knocks on my door
Its just a place where I sleep at night
But I cant sleep alone
I think Ill stop off and have a bite
And take the long way home
What makes a house a home
is sometimes hard to say
You never know all the riches you own
Till someone takes them away
The night is clear and my work is through
Its a shame to be alone
I think Ill go have a beer or two
Ill take the long way home
Ill just take the long way home
