Take the Long Way Home Lyrics

By: John Schneider
Key of G
Intro: G, D, Em, C, D
Take the long way home, she won't wait up tonight
I can take the long way home and there won't be any fight
Tonight I can stay out late with the boys,
Play cards and come in at dawn
Since she left me I've got a choice, I can take the long way home
No pictures on the wall, no carpet on the floor
Noone ever calls, noone knocks on my door
It's just a place where I sleep at night
But I can't sleep alone
Think I'll stop off and have a bite, and take the long way home.
What makes a house a home is sometimes hard to say
You never know all the riches you own til someone takes them away
solo:
The night is clear and my work is through, it's a shame to be alone
Think I'll go have a beer or two, I'll take the long way home
I'll just take the long way home.
