[00:00:00] The Long Way Home (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)

[00:00:01] Written by：Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:15] You could be this man he's got it all worked out

[00:00:18] To the nth degree no fears no doubts

[00:00:22] He'll retire at thirty to his

[00:00:24] Big a** house next to the putting green

[00:00:28] Now he's got a picture

[00:00:29] In his head of the perfect wife

[00:00:32] Their perfect children their perfect life

[00:00:36] Nothing wrong with that coming home

[00:00:38] Each night to his cul de sac of dreams

[00:00:43] Funny now how it all went by so fast

[00:00:49] One day he's looking over his shoulder at the past

[00:00:56] When everybody had to go had to be had to get somewhere

[00:01:02] How did he forget about what got him there

[00:01:14] Now you could be this woman she's the CEO

[00:01:17] She's got her powersuits and her IPO's

[00:01:21] She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago

[00:01:24] And she hasn't pulled back since

[00:01:27] Now there's a gardener for the flowers a cook for the meals

[00:01:31] A maid for the laundry an accountant for the bills

[00:01:34] A walker for the dog and a trainer

[00:01:37] When she feels the need to lose an inch

[00:01:42] Funny now how it all went by so fast

[00:01:48] One day she's looking over her shoulder at the past

[00:01:54] When everybody had to go had to be had to get somewhere

[00:02:01] Somehow she forgot about what got her there

[00:02:09] Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination

[00:02:57] Or you could be the one who takes the long way home

[00:03:01] Roll down your window turn off your phone

[00:03:05] See your life as a gift from the great unknown

[00:03:08] And your task is to receive it

[00:03:11] Tell your kid a story hold your lover tight

[00:03:15] Make a joyful noise swim naked at night

[00:03:19] Read a poem a day call in well sometimes and

[00:03:22] Laugh when they believe it

[00:03:26] Funny now how it all goes by so fast

[00:03:31] One day I'm looking over my shoulder at the past

[00:03:38] Now everybody's got to go got to be got to get somewhere

[00:03:45] Baby don't forget about

[00:03:48] You really shouldn't forget about

[00:03:52] Baby don't forget about what got you there

[00:04:01] I think it's what got you there

[00:04:07] Yeah it's really what got you there

[00:04:15] You know what got you there

[00:04:21] Yeah yeah yeah yeah
