Long Way Home

Daddy always told me, take the long way home
Daddy always told me, take the long way home
Cuz you can't be in a hurry when you're trying to grow

See those cars over there
My child ain't no need of worryin'
Cuz them folks are on their own way
Keep your hands on the wheel And focus on your lane
Cuz you can't be in a hurry, or you'll get in your own way

Now listen when I tell you
Getting there is the goal
Yeah there's a faster way to get there
But you won't appreciate the road
And child if you don't watch where you're going
You'll find yourself in a deep, deep pot hole

My daddy always told me, take the long way home
Daddy always told me, take the long way home
Cuz you can't be in a hurry when you're trying to grow

We've got highways and bi ways
But don't despise those back roads
Oh, Cuz those long, long stretches
Will give your mind a chance to know
How to safely reach your destination
And how much weight can travel that road

My daddy always told me, take the long way home
(Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home, whoah)
My daddy always told me, take the long way home
(Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home)

Ah, Cuz you can't be in a hurry, oh, when you're trying to grow
Mmm
