"Long Way Home" lyrics

They're flippin' chairs on the tables, switchin' off the open sign
DJ behind the bar started playin' "Closing Time"
We ain't gotta go home, but we can't stay here
That little look just made it perfectly clear

We should probably take the long way home
We should probably take that old dirt road
Steal some minutes from the miles, some kisses from your smile
Yeah, I'm thinkin' we both need some more time alone
We should probably take the long way home
Yeah, the long way home

Hit the straight on 31, I'll put it in cruise
That'll free up a shoulder for you to lean into
You'll wanna play some Trisha, pull over, danced with me
You drank tequila, yeah, I know what that means

We should probably take the long way home
We should probably take that old dirt road
Steal some minutes from the miles, some kisses from your smile
Yeah, I'm thinkin' we both need some more time alone
We should probably take the long way home

I don't want this night to end
Yeah, and it looks like the moon
Wants to keep this party goin' just like you do

(We should probably take the long way home)
We should probably take that old dirt road
Steal some minutes from the miles, some kisses from your smile
Yeah, I'm thinkin' we both need some more time alone
We should probably take the long way home
Yeah, the long way home
