Long Way Around The World

Jackknifed in the middle of the angels city
And I can't find my way back to holy ground
Two blocks from Heartbreak Hotel in a town without pity
And the toes of my boots are scuffed
From being dragged around
The demons in the naked city are lookin' out for easy prey
And now that I've got you here with me
We'll be the last to walk away
I took the long way around the world
Wasted time with a thousand girls
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
Black cat crossed my path, I was in trouble
After all this time I'd been playin' with loaded dice
Then push came to shove and my world began to tumble
Until I called out and you heard my battle cry
The demons in the naked city are lookin' out for easy prey
And now that I've got you here with me
We'll be the last to walk away
I took the long way around the world
Wasted time with a thousand girls
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
I got lost, I got stranded
And I thought I'd wind up empty handed
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
I went ridin' on a wild train
Never thought I'd make it back again
A little lost, a little insane
When you took me from the lost and found
And you pulled me back to sacred ground
(I took the long way around the world
But I still found you)
I went ridin' on a wild train
I never thought I'd make it back again
Until I met you baby, until I met you baby
Until I met you baby, until I met you
I took the long way around the world
Wasted time with a thousand girls
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
And I got lost, I got stranded
And I thought I'd wind up empty handed
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
I took the long way around the world
But I still found you
