Long Way Home - Granger Smith

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
