[Lyric] Take the Long Way Home (The Alex Leach Band)

[Chorus]
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the road that leads you where you're goin'
Not the quickest way to get there, but adventure sure is somewhere
Better take the long way home while you can

[Verse 1]
By God's grace, we travel o'er the mountains
Cross the desert, plains, and valleys far and wide
The longest rivers and thеir streams, they can nevеr hold me down
The restless spirit travels with the turnin' tide

[Chorus]
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the road that leads you where you're goin'
Not the quickest way to get there, but adventure sure is somewhere
Better take the long way home while you can

[Verse 2]
We'll make it there come hell or high water
The path less traveled leads me where I wanna go
From the leaves in the trees to the sands in the seas
My gypsy lady waits for me on down the road
[Chorus]
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the road that leads you where you're goin'
Not the quickest way to get there, but adventure sure is somewhere
Better take the long way home while you can

[Bridge]
I'm travelin' through the clouds from day to day
Dreamin' of that mountain air so far away

[Chorus]
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the road that leads you where you're goin'
Not the quickest way to get there, but adventure sure is somewhere
Better take the long way home while you can

[Chorus]
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the road that leads you where you're goin'
Not the quickest way to get there, but adventure sure is somewhere
Better take the long way home while you can

[Outro]
You better take the long way home while you can
