Long Way Home Tom Waits

Well, I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home

Is there a light up ahead?
I can't hold on very long
Forgive me, pretty baby
But I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a head full of lightning
A hat full of rain

And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
I love you, pretty baby
But I always take the long way home

I put food on the table
And a roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead

Watch your back if I should tell you
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
One thing's for sure, pretty baby
I always take the long way home
