Granger Smith Long Way Home song lyrics

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
