Long Way Home

On the outskirts of Dallas There's a two lane highway Take a right to my hometown And a left to the interstate Some angry words cloud of dust in a hurry One left and she was gone A turn for the worst, so it seems but I'm not worried If she's the girl I know. She's probably driving back roads with the top down, just outta town A warm breeze always cools her down She'll cry along with every song on the radio And then I know that Mustang's bound to turn around I keep telling myself she's not really gone She's taking the long way home A pair of old sunglasses to hide the red in her blue eyes I can see the wind that waves her blonde hair blowing away the tears she cries Staring at a lipstick stained cup of coffee that she left yesterday I fill it up for her her to drink when she gets home I'll bet she's had a long day She's probably driving back roads with the top down, just outta town The warm breeze always cools her down She'll cry along with every song on the radio And then I know that Mustang's bound to turn around I keep telling myself she's not really gone She's taking the long way home That's just like her to take the scenic route But I keep on waiting cause I know She'll be coming home any moment now She's probably driving back roads with the top down, just outta town A warm breeze always cools her down She'll cry along with every song on the radio And then I know that Mustang's bound to turn around I keep telling myself she's not really gone She's taking the long way home God I hope she's taking the long way home
