Taking The Long Way

[Verse 1]
Well, I was thinking 'bout a front porch kiss, 'bout to drop you off
But we got to talking so I wound up circlin' the block
Then you leaned over, turned the radio up
And I turned the tires on this pickup truck
To where the blacktop road runs out
But looks like, baby, right now

[Chorus]
I'm taking the long way
Turning left when I shoulda turned right
It's been a long day
Lookin' like it's gonna be a long night
Got three hundred horses and a twenty gallon tank
Two hearts raring to go
We're taking the long way
Taking you home, yeah

[Verse 2]
Your smile's telling me to keep going so I ain't gonna stop
Until the sun comes up or these eight lug wheels fall off
Well, baby, we can go fast or we can go slow
Just keep them kisses on cruise control
We got us a wild hare
We gonna get there when we get there

[Chorus]
I'm taking the long way
Turning left when I shoulda turned right
It's been a long day
Lookin' like it's gonna be a long night
Got three hundred horses and a twenty gallon tank
Two hearts raring to go
We're taking the long way
Taking you home, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm taking the long way
Turning left when I shoulda turned right
It's been a long day
Lookin' like it's gonna be a long night
Got three hundred horses and a twenty gallon tank
Two hearts raring to go
We're taking the long way
Taking you home
Yeah, I'm taking the long way
Taking you home, yeah
