[Verse 1] I took the long way out Through the dust and the rain Same worn shoes on the floor Same bruise in my brain Every turn looked wrong Every sign said wait But I kept my hands on the wheel And I moved that weight [Pre-Chorus] I been lost, I been late Still I knew your door I got pride in my chest But I want this more If I bend, if I break If I crawl, if I roam I’m still headed one place Baby, back home [Chorus] Takin the longest road home (Longest road home) Takin the longest road home (Back to you) Every mile got my name Every wrong turn knows my pain Takin the longest road home (Longest road home) [Verse 2] Saw my past in the glass At a red light fade Heard your laugh in my head Like a record played I was tough on the road Soft when I was alone Kept a map in my heart Kept your love like a stone [Pre-Chorus] I been lost, I been late Still I knew your door I got pride in my chest But I want this more If I bend, if I break If I crawl, if I roam I’m still headed one place Baby, back home [Chorus] Takin the longest road home (Longest road home) Takin the longest road home (Back to you) Every mile got my name Every wrong turn knows my pain Takin the longest road home (Longest road home) [Bridge] And if the night keeps talking I’ll let it talk If the road keeps testing me I won’t stop I can see that porch light Burning through the storm All the miles I carried Lead me to your warm [Final Chorus] Takin the longest road home (Longest road home) Takin the longest road home (Back to you) Every mile got my name Every wrong turn knows my pain Takin the longest road home (Longest road home)
