If you ever want to find me I can still be found
I'll just take my time, I won't lay down
But I, I could never follow
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
And I'm gettin' it back on the road now
I'm taking the long way
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Taking the long way around
It's been two long years now
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
I'm taking the long way
I met the Queen of Whatever
I hit the highway
In the same ZIP codes where their parents live
I've been a long time gone now
Taking the long way
But I've always found my way somehow
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
Taking the long way around
By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
Guess, I could've made it easier on myself
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Taking the long way
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
No I, I could never follow
Lived like a gypsy
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way around
Moved with the shakers
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to
Since the top of the world came crashing down
No I, I could never follow
Taking the long way
And take the long way around
But I'm taking the long way
Moved into houses
Taking the long way around
But I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
