《Taking the Long Way》歌词

[00:00:00] Taking the Long Way - Swingin' Utters

[00:00:09] I came upon a row of pretty houses

[00:00:14] So still and secretive and nearly perfect

[00:00:18] Said to myself it may be worth it

[00:00:23] Thought to myself maybe you'll be worthy

[00:00:27] So I started to take the long way home

[00:00:29] And in my mind I made the neighborhood my own

[00:00:32] Started to save but I just owed too much dough

[00:00:36] Ten odd years down a different road

[00:00:41] I'd left my city and I'd left my home

[00:00:45] I found myself in that place again

[00:00:50] Some kind of pretty little accident

[00:00:54] It made me feel sick of being

[00:00:57] Like I was old and convalescing

[00:00:59] Gave me reasons to regret

[00:01:00] Made me wanna forget

[00:01:03] So I guess the grass is always greener

[00:01:08] Where all the other homes are so much cleaner

[00:01:12] The plumbing's sound and the bills are no bother

[00:01:17] The cars are fast and the weather's a wonder

[00:01:22] No I'm never gonna take the long way home

[00:01:24] I might stop to chew the scenery alone

[00:01:26] But I won't swallow it whole
