It's a Friday night And I got nowhere on my mind I'm just humming a tune And swallowing the white lines What a friend I have in emptiness And turning wheels What a friend It's a hell of a lie Oh it's a wicked one too When I told myself Baby I was over you But every now and then My words betray me Every now and then Every now and then I'm taking the long way home I don't wanna talk to nobody I just wanna be alone I'm taking the long way home I'm a shadow of myself Oh there's a shadow on my soul It's a cold hand leading Down to where I don't wanna go Well I dug myself out before I'll do it again I dug myself out And I'll do it again I'm taking the long way home I don't wanna talk to nobody I just wanna be alone I'm taking the long way home Home Going home Oh home Yeah I wana go home It's a Friday night And I got someone on my mind I'm just thinkin down that road Back to when we were lovin and kind Well I took it to heart My body left reeling Yeah I took it to heart I always take it to heart I'm taking the long way home I don't wanna talk to nobody I just wanna be alone I'm taking the long way home There's a heart that's beating in the wheels on the road I'm taking the long way home Going home Take me home
