The Long Way Around


Någon kom visst på att skriva en sång om mig. Dixie Chicks av alla. En countrylåt! Men jag kan stå för nästan vartenda ord i den här texten:

"The Long Way Around"

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

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, I'm taking the long way, Taking the long way around, The long, The long way around

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
