The Long Way Around Lyrics - Taking The Long Way - Dixie Chicks

My friends from high school 

Married their high school boyfriends 

Moved into houses 

In the same ZIP codes where their parents live 

But I, I could never follow 

No I, I could never follow 

I hit the highway 

In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling 

Lived like a gypsy 

Six strong hands on the steering wheel 

I've been a long time gone now 

Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down 

But I've always found my way somehow 

By taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

Taking the long way 

Taking the long way around

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

I met the queen of whatever 

Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies 

Moved with the shakers 

Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to 

No I, I could never follow 

No I, I could never follow 

It's been two long years now 

Since the top of the world came crashing down 

And I'm getting it back on the road now 

But I'm taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

Taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

Oh, I'll just take my time, I won't lay down 

And take the long way around 

Photos 

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself 

I opened my mouth and I heard myself 

It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself 

Guess I could have made it easier on myself 

But I, I could never follow 

No I, I could never follow 

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else 

Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down 

If you ever want to find me I can still be found 

Taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

Taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

I'm taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

I'm taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

I'm taking the long way 

Taking the long way around 

I'm taking the long way 

(Taking the long way around)
