Take the Long Way Home

Who's to blame if you're not around?
There are times that you feel you're part of the scenery

Why should you care if you're feeling good?
Then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity

You took the long way home, you took the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home
When you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable
Lonely days turn to lonely nights, take a trip to the city lights
You took the long way home, you took the long way home
So, when the day comes to settle down
'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
And take the long way home, take the long way home
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
You take the long way home, take the long way home

You took the long way home, you took the long way home

You took the long way home, you took the long way home
Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
How they adore you
You never see what you want to see forever playing to the gallery
Oh, calamity, is there no way out? Oh yes
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
Oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time
Long way home, long way home, long way home
Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
