Words and music by bob seger |
|
Winners, losers and small time misusers |
|
Do what they must on their own |
|
Lovers, dreamers and beautiful schemers |
|
All take the long way home |
|
Some have their reasons |
|
Some lose their way |
|
They all want so much to succeed |
|
How do you tell them apart |
|
The best of them leave with their hearts |
|
Now that it's summer |
|
I went to the river |
|
The water was never too cold |
|
Always together through all kinds of weather |
|
We took the long way home |
|
She was the best |
|
I ever knew |
|
Somehow she drifted away |
|
Now that i'm older |
|
The nights seems much colder |
|
I spend too much time alone |
|
Sometimes in summer |
|
I kept thinking of her |
|
And i'll take the long way home |
|
I'll still take the long way home |
