Testo: J. J. Cale. Long Way Home.

Early in the mornin', about a quarter to four
Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door
We're headin' for the car and we got right in
And that's when I noticed, the shape she was in

She turned to me and said right out
Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

Well we drove down town and up in the woods
We drove around and around 'til I understood
I was holdin' the wheel, she was makin' out
And all this time, I was drivin' about

She was fondlin' my hair and huggin' my neck
And all I was thinkin' was, oh what the heck?
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

I was lookin' in the mirror and to my surprise
There was two big red lights shinin' in my eyes
I pull over and he drove alongside
And out of his car and up to my right

He looked at her and she looked at him
And the next thing, I noticed he got right in
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

J. J. Cale
