I'm a sinking sun with new horizons
Just lookin' for a place to land
I'm a sparkler how to be a fire
Shoot me down but I'll be back again
Tonight I'll hop another train
No I ain't got no ETA
Don't you worry
Don't you cry
About my wonderin' soul
You go your way
I'll go mine
But I'm never lost
Heaven knows
I take the long way home
I remember wading muddy waters
Before I knew I couldn't swim
Now life can go and throw me off the deep end
Shoot me down but I'll be back again
Don't you worry
Don't you cry
About my wonderin' soul
You go your way
I'll go mine
But I'm never lost
Heaven knows
I take the long way home
Until that sunrise
Becomes your porch light
Know that I'll be okay (I'll be okay)
Under the same stars
Shining where you are
I'm not too far away
No I ain't got no ETA
But I got some letters that the future wrote
Told me to take an old back road
Someday soon I know somewhere
Yeah, maybe I will meet you there
Don't you worry
Don't you cry
About my wonderin' soul (my wonderin' soul)
You go your way (you go your way)
I'll go mine (I'll go mine)
But I'm never lost
Heaven knows
I take the long way home
The long way home
I take the long way home
