Taking the Long Way - Swingin' Utters[00:00:00]
I came upon a row of pretty houses[00:00:09]
So still and secretive and nearly perfect[00:00:14]
Said to myself it may be worth it[00:00:18]
Thought to myself maybe you'll be worthy[00:00:23]
So I started to take the long way home[00:00:27]
And in my mind I made the neighborhood my own[00:00:29]
Started to save but I just owed too much dough[00:00:32]
Ten odd years down a different road[00:00:36]
I'd left my city and I'd left my home[00:00:41]
I found myself in that place again[00:00:45]
Some kind of pretty little accident[00:00:50]
It made me feel sick of being[00:00:54]
Like I was old and convalescing[00:00:57]
Gave me reasons to regret[00:00:59]
Made me wanna forget[00:01:00]
So I guess the grass is always greener[00:01:03]
Where all the other homes are so much cleaner[00:01:08]
The plumbing's sound and the bills are no bother[00:01:12]
The cars are fast and the weather's a wonder[00:01:17]
No I'm never gonna take the long way home[00:01:22]
I might stop to chew the scenery alone[00:01:24]
But I won't swallow it whole[00:01:26]
