Take the Long Way Home Lyrics

Take the long way home
She won�t wait up tonight
I can take the long way home
And there won�t be any fights
Tonight I can stay out late with the boys
Play cards and come in at dawn
Since she left me I�ve got a choice
I can take the long way home

No pictures on the wall
No carpet on the floor
No one ever calls
No one knocks on my door
It�s just a place where I sleep at night
But I can�t sleep alone
I think I�ll stop off and have a bite
And take the long way home

What makes a house a home
is sometimes hard to say
You never know all the riches you own
Till someone takes them away

The night is clear and my work is through
It�s a shame to be alone
I think I�ll go have a beer or two
I�ll take the long way home
I�ll just take the long way home
