The Long Way Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Had to go, had to know all
There was out there.
Now I'm back, I know that, girl
It's all right here.
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
Ran a lot
Don't know what I
Thought I would find.
Town to town, all I found
Was you on my mind
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
Girl I took
The long way home, it's true,
The long way home to you, yeah
And I just want to say,
I'm home to stay.
Stay,
I'm home to stay
Been a long way, long way home
Long way home, long way home
