Tom Waits - Long Way Home lyrics

Well I stumbled in the darkness I'm lost and alone Though I said I'd go before us And show the way back home Is there a light up ahead I can't hold on very long Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home Money's just something you throw Off the back of a train I got a head full of lightning A hat full of rain I know that I said I'd never do it again I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home I put food on the table And a roof over our head But I'd trade it all tomorrow For the highway instead Watch your back Keep your eyes shut tight Your love's the only thing I've ever known One thing's for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home You know I love you baby More than the whole wide world You are my woman You know you are my pearl Let's go out past the party lights Where we can finally be alone Come with me and we can Take the long way home
