Where everybody hangs around
Watchin' the sun go down until it's gone

Sometimes I drop in
In fact more than now and then
Lately I've been takin' the long way home

Sometimes she still holds me tight
And tells me everythin's alright
Even though I know she is already moved on

Here I am my friend
Where I seen the wind up in the end
And once again I'm takin' the long way home

It's a long way, long way from here to there
Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care

There's really nothin' for me here
But I guess I'll have another beer
And walk on over there and play one more song

[Incomprehensible] time for me to go
Where I'm going I don't know
I just know I'm takin' the long way home

It's a long way, long way from here to there
Getting' longer everyday, oh, but she don't care

Still sittin' here my friend
I knew I'd be here till the end
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home

Where everybody hangs around
Watchin' the sun go down until it's gone
