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
