Dixie Chicks Taking The Long Way Around Lyrics

Taking The Long Way Around Lyrics

My friends from high school

Married their high school boyfriends

Moved into houses

In the same ZIP codes where their parents live



But I

I could never follow

No I

I could never
follow



I hit the highway

In a pink RV with stars on the
ceiling

Lived like a gypsy

Six strong hands on the steering
wheel



I’ve been a long time gone now

Maybe someday, someday
I’m gonna settle down

But I’ve always found my way somehow



By takin’ the long way

Takin’ the long way around

Takin’ the long
way

Takin’ the long way around



I met the queen of
whatever

Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies

Moved
with the shakers

Wouldn’t kiss all the asses that they told me to



No I

I could never follow

No I

I could never
follow



It’s been two long years now

Since the top of the
world came crashing down

And I’m getting’ it back on the road now



But I’m takin’ the long way

Takin’ the long way around

I’m
takin’ the long way

Takin’ the long way around

The long

The
long way around



Well I fought with a stranger and I met myself

I opened my mouth and I heard myself

It can get pretty lonely when you
show yourself

Guess I could have made it easier on myself



But I

I could never follow

No I

I could never follow



Well I never seem to do it like anybody else

Maybe someday,
someday I’m gonna settle down

If you ever want to find me I can still be
found



Takin’ the long way

Takin’ the long way around

Takin’ the long way

Takin’ the long way around
