Taking The Long Way Home Lyrics & Chords By Sammy Kershaw

(Scott Emerick, Sammy Kershaw, John Sherrill)

There's a place of the edge of town

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

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
