On the outskirts of Dallas Theres a two lane highway Take a right to my hometown And a left to the interstate Some angry words cloud of dust in a hurry One left and she was gone A turn for the worst, so it seems but Im not worried If shes the girl I know.. Shes probably driving back roads with the top down, just outta town A warm breeze always cools her down Shell cry along with every song on the radio And then I know that Mustangs bound to turn around I keep telling myself shes not really gone Shes taking the long way home A pair of old sungla**es to hide the red in her blue eyes I can see the wind that waves her blonde hair blowing away the tears she cries Staring at a lipstick stained cup of coffee that she left yesterday I fill it up for her her to drink when she gets home Ill bet shes had a long day Shes probably driving back roads with the top down, just outta town The warm breeze always cools her down Shell cry along with every song on the radio And then I know that Mustangs bound to turn around I keep telling myself shes not really gone Shes taking the long way home Thats just like her to take the scenic route But I keep on waiting cause I know Shell be coming home any moment now Shes probably driving back roads with the top down, just outta town A warm breeze always cools her down Shell cry along with every song on the radio And then I know that Mustangs bound to turn around I keep telling myself shes not really gone Shes taking the long way home God I hope shes taking the long way home
