Emily Robison - The Long Way Around lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I've been a long time gone now Maybe someday, someday I'm going to 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 [Verse 2] I met the queen of whatever Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies Moved with the shakers Wouldn't kiss all the a**es that they told me to But I, I could never follow No I, I could never follow [Chorus] 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 I'm taking the long way Taking the long way around The long The long way around [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down If you ever want to 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
