Sam Dixon - The Long Way Home lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't tell where the rain stops and my tears begin At first it was just a raindrop, now my heavens are coming in And suddenly my clothes are sticking to my skin And oh, what a mess I'm in [Verse 2] There's an honesty in heartbreak that will shake you to the bone It will hit you like an earthquake and swallow you up whole You're not here to hold it so my right hand's getting cold I want you to know [Chorus] I'll take the long way home I'm gonna walk the dark side of the road And just so you know where I'm gonna go, whoa ooh I'm gonna take the long way home [Verse 3] These streets are unfamiliar and my shoes are digging in I'm hoping that it's k**ing you and the guilt is kicking in, oh Like a spider in the bath, you're regretting everything And oh, what a mess [Chorus] I'll take the long way home I'm gonna walk the dark side of the road And just so you know where I'm gonna go I'm gonna take the long way home [Bridge] Oh, the birds in the sky, how they whisper I could swear that they're leading me home, oh ooh They're singing And I'm not listening They won't leave me alone But I want you to know [Chorus] I'll take the long way home I'm gonna walk the dark side of the road And just so you know where I'm gonna go I'm gonna take the long way home
