[Verse 1]

I was thinking ‘bout a front porch kiss ‘bout to drop you off
A E
But we got to talking so I wound up circling the block
A
Then you leaned over turned the radio up
D
And I turned the tires on this pickup truck
A
To where the blacktop roads run out
E
It looks like baby right now

[Chorus]
A
I’m taking the long way
D
Turning left when I should’a turned right
A
It’s been a long day
E
Looking like it’s gonna be a long night
A D
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
A E
We’re taking the long way
A
Taking you home yeah

[Verse 2]
A
Your smiles telling me to keep going
D
So I ain’t gonna stop
A E
‘Til the sun comes up or these 8 lug wheels fall off
A
Well baby we can go fast or we can go slow
D
Just keep them kisses on cruise control
A
We got us a wild hare
E
We gonna get there when we get there

[Chorus]
A
I’m taking the long way

Turning left when I should’a turned right
A
It’s been a long day

Looking like it’s gonna be a long night
A D
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
A E
We’re taking the long way
