JJ Cale - Long Way Home lyrics

(J.J. Cale) Early in the morning, about a quarter to four Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door We're heading for the car and we got right in And that's when I noticed the shape she was in She turned to me and said right out Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last Well we drove down town and up in the woods We drove around and around till I understood I was holding the wheel, she was making out And all this time I was driving about She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise There was two big red lights shining in my eyes I pull over and he drove alongside And out of his car and up to my right He looked at her and she looked at him And the next thing I noticed he got right in Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last Take the long way home, take the long way home Take the long way home, take the long way home Make this night last
