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
