[Verse 1] The light turned green on Main at 6:05, my street's a left — I've turned there all my life. But then our song came on — I couldn't let it die, so I turned right, and drove into the night. The dashboard glowed, the city slipped away — one song became the reason I could stay. [Chorus] You — I took the long way home tonight, twenty more minutes 'cause the song was you. Every line they sang, I swear they got it right — worth the detour, just to hear it through. Worth the detour, worth the detour — the short road gets you home, the long road gets it right. [Verse 2] That song faded out somewhere past Miller's Lake, I should've headed home — but then came track two. The DJ said "this one's for the wide-awake" — that song was singing me and you. [Chorus] You — I took the long way home tonight, twenty more minutes 'cause the song was you. Every line they sang, I swear they got it right — worth the detour, just to hear it through. Worth the detour, worth the detour — the short road gets you home, the long road gets it right. [Bridge] Nobody remembers the fastest way home, but every detour stays with you for good. The short road gets you there and leaves you alone — the long way keeps you like a good song should. [Final Chorus] You — I took the long way home tonight, twenty more minutes 'cause the song was you. Every line they sang, I swear they got it right — worth the detour, just to hear it through. Yeah, worth the detour — worth the detour — I'd drive all night to hear it through.
