Long Way Home Lyrics

Daddy always told me, take the long way home

Daddy always told me, take the long way home

Cuz you can't be in a hurry when you're trying to grow

See those cars over there

My child ain't no need of worryin'

Cuz them folks are on their own way

Keep your hands on the wheel And focus on your lane

Cuz you can't be in a hurry, or you'll get in your own way

Now listen when I tell you

Getting there is the goal

Yeah there's a faster way to get there

But you won't appreciate the road

And child if you don't watch where you're going

You'll find yourself in a deep, deep pot hole

My daddy always told me, take the long way home

Daddy always told me, take the long way home

Cuz you can't be in a hurry when you're trying to grow

We've got highways and bi ways

But don't despise those back roads

Oh, Cuz those long, long stretches

Will give your mind a chance to know

How to safely reach your destination

And how much weight can travel that road

My daddy always told me, take the long way home

(Take the long way home, take the long way home

Take the long way home, take the long way home, whoah)

My daddy always told me, take the long way home

(Take the long way home, take the long way home

Take the long way home, take the long way home)

Ah, Cuz you can't be in a hurry, oh, when you're trying to grow

Mmm
