Taking The Long Way - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Well, I was thinking 'bout a front porch kiss, 'bout to drop you off

But we got to talking so I wound up circlin' the block

Then you leaned over, turned the radio up

And I turned the tires on this pickup truck

To where the blacktop road runs out

But looks like, baby, right now

I'm taking the long way

Turning left when I shoulda turned right

It's been a long day

Lookin' like it's gonna be a long night

Got three hundred horses and a twenty gallon tank

Two hearts raring to go

We're taking the long way

Taking you home, yeah

Your smile's telling me to keep going so I ain't gonna stop

Until the sun comes up or these eight lug wheels fall off

Well, baby, we can go fast or we can go slow

Just keep them kisses on cruise control

We got us a wild hare

We gonna get there when we get there

I'm taking the long way

Turning left when I shoulda turned right

It's been a long day

Lookin' like it's gonna be a long night

Got three hundred horses and a twenty gallon tank

Two hearts raring to go

We're taking the long way

Taking you home, yeah

I'm taking the long way

Turning left when I shoulda turned right

It's been a long day

Lookin' like it's gonna be a long night

Got three hundred horses and a twenty gallon tank

Two hearts raring to go

We're taking the long way

Taking you home

Yeah, I'm taking the long way

Taking you home, yeah
