INTRO
This mornin' when I woke,
You'd gone and left a note.
Said you'd be at your mother's for a while.
I finished work,
And called you on the phone,
Then I took the long way home.
I read your list of jobs,
Wash the dishes, walk the dog.
I'll get around to them real soon.
You said we needed bread,
I hit the tackle shop instead.
Then I took the long way home.
I'm taking the long way home,
I ain't in no hurry.
The fish is out, the cat's been fed,
And I don't have to worry
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
Called in to my mate Stu,
To sample his home brew.
Before too long we started rambling on.
Well I got up to leave,
But his wife she took my keys.
Sure was a long way home.
I'm taking the long way home,
I ain't in no hurry.
The bird is out, the cat's been fed,
And I don't have to worry
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
GUITAR SOLO
Well I checked my answer phone,
You said you was comin' home.
I thought I had till Sunday afternoon.
I haven't done a thing,
And I can feel that rolling pin.
I might take the long way home.
I'm taking the long way home,
I ain't in no hurry.
The dog is out, the cat's been fed,
And I don't have to worry
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way,
Might just be the wrong way,
Tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
