The Long Way Home

Bob Seger


Winners, losers and small time misusers 
Do what they must on their own 
Lovers, dreamers and beautiful schemers 
All take the long way home 
Some have their reasons 
Some lose their way 
They all want so much to succeed 
How do you tell them apart 
The best of them leave with their hearts 

Now that it's summer 
I went to the river 
The water was never too cold 
Always together through all kinds of weather 
We took the long way home 
She was the best 
I ever knew 
Somehow she drifted away 

Now that i'm older 
The nights seems much colder 
I spend too much time alone 
Sometimes in summer 
I kept thinking of her 
And i'll take the long way home 
I'll still take the long way home
