Karaoké The Long Way Around The Chicks

My friends from high school married their high school boyfriends

Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes where their parents live

But I

I could never follow

No I

I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling

Lived like a gypsy six strong hands on the steering wheel

I've been a long time gone now

Maybe someday, someday

I'm gonna settle down

But I've always found my way somehow by taking the long way

Taking the long way around

Taking the long way

Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever

Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies

Moved with the shakers

Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I

I could never follow

No I

I could never follow

It's been two long years now since the top of the world came crashing down

And I'm getting it back on the road now

But I'm taking the long way

Taking the long way around

Taking the long way

Taking the long way around

Oh, I just take my time

I won't lay down and take the long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself

I opened my mouth and I heard myself

It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself

Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I

I could never follow

No I

I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else

Maybe someday, someday

I'm gonna settle down

If you ever wanna find me

I can still be found taking the long way

Taking the long way around

Taking the long way

Taking the long way around

I'm taking the long way

Taking the long way around

I'm taking the long way

Taking the long way around

I'm taking the long way

Taking the long way around

I'm taking the long way
