Lyrics

Long Way 'Round
1997 Whit and Al Hill

Don't wanna drive like a maniac, trimming my time
We'll make it home by dawn
I'm gonna take the back roads into your heart
gonna take the long way 'round.

Don't wanna flood your engine, flatten your ties
or take you straight into town
Don't wanna cheat these children out of the chase
Gonna take the long way 'round.

I'm gonna take that back road circuitous route
Play my radio loud
I'm gonna stop my car, lie down in the road
Gonna take the long way 'round.

Don't wanna drive like a maniac, trimming my time
We'll make it home by dawn
I'm gonna roll real slow right up to your door
Walk right in and take you down
Gonna take the long way 'round.
