[Verse 1] Bag’s in the trunk Tank is full The whole town’s fast asleep We just beat Troy And Penny’s promise Is a promise I’ll keep It’s been a long, long game, boys And the moon’s still ridin’ high Home’ll still be home tomorrow What’s an hour or two go by? [Pre-Chorus] Windows down And the radio loud The road’s a ribbon in the dark Ten seasons in the film room Boys, let’s finally leave a mark [Chorus] We’re takin’ the long way home The scenic route, the open road The places we ain’t known We ran that field a thousand times Tonight we run the world Penny keeps, Penny waits We’re takin’ the long way home [Verse 2] Never saw the ocean Never watched the mountains rise Ten years of Friday nights, boys Ten years of the same old sky So let’s chase a little horizon ’Fore I hang the cleats for good One night to be young and free The way that young and free men should [Pre-Chorus] Windows down And the radio loud The road’s a ribbon in the dark Ten seasons in the film room Boys, let’s finally leave a mark [Chorus] We’re takin’ the long way home The scenic route, the open road The places we ain’t known We ran that field a thousand times Tonight we run the world Penny keeps, Penny waits We’re takin’ the long way home [Bridge] That my exit right there My street, my porch, my whole life waitin’ (keep goin’) I’ll circle back Penny won’t even know I’m late (keep goin’) Foot down Laugh it off The sign fades in the rain The car keeps movin’ past it And nobody says my name [Final Chorus] We’re takin’ the long way home Ten thousand lights and a hundred towns And a hundred roads unknown We ran that field a thousand times Tonight we run the world Penny keeps, Penny waits We’re takin’ the long way home We’re takin’ the long way home (hey) We’re takin’ the long way home (oh) We’re takin’ the long way home Penny keeps, Penny waits We’re takin’ the long way home
