Píseň: The Long Way Around

Interpret:
Dixie Chicks
Album:
Taking The Long Way
My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live


But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow


I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel


I´ve been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I´m gonna settle down
But I´ve always found my way somehow


By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around


I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn´t kiss all the asses that they told me to


No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow


It´s been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I´m getting´ it back on the road now


But I´m taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I´m taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around


Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself


But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow


Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I´m gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found


Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
