The Long Way Home (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]

Written by：Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:01]

You could be this man he's got it all worked out[00:00:15]

To the nth degree no fears no doubts[00:00:18]

He'll retire at thirty to his[00:00:22]

Big a** house next to the putting green[00:00:24]

Now he's got a picture[00:00:28]

In his head of the perfect wife[00:00:29]

Their perfect children their perfect life[00:00:32]

Nothing wrong with that coming home[00:00:36]

Each night to his cul de sac of dreams[00:00:38]

Funny now how it all went by so fast[00:00:43]

One day he's looking over his shoulder at the past[00:00:49]

When everybody had to go had to be had to get somewhere[00:00:56]

How did he forget about what got him there[00:01:02]

Now you could be this woman she's the CEO[00:01:14]

She's got her powersuits and her IPO's[00:01:17]

She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago[00:01:21]

And she hasn't pulled back since[00:01:24]

Now there's a gardener for the flowers a cook for the meals[00:01:27]

A maid for the laundry an accountant for the bills[00:01:31]

A walker for the dog and a trainer[00:01:34]

When she feels the need to lose an inch[00:01:37]

Funny now how it all went by so fast[00:01:42]

One day she's looking over her shoulder at the past[00:01:48]

When everybody had to go had to be had to get somewhere[00:01:54]

Somehow she forgot about what got her there[00:02:01]

Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination[00:02:09]

Or you could be the one who takes the long way home[00:02:57]

Roll down your window turn off your phone[00:03:01]

See your life as a gift from the great unknown[00:03:05]

And your task is to receive it[00:03:08]

Tell your kid a story hold your lover tight[00:03:11]

Make a joyful noise swim naked at night[00:03:15]

Read a poem a day call in well sometimes and[00:03:19]

Laugh when they believe it[00:03:22]

Funny now how it all goes by so fast[00:03:26]

One day I'm looking over my shoulder at the past[00:03:31]

Now everybody's got to go got to be got to get somewhere[00:03:38]

Baby don't forget about[00:03:45]

You really shouldn't forget about[00:03:48]

Baby don't forget about what got you there[00:03:52]

I think it's what got you there[00:04:01]

Yeah it's really what got you there[00:04:07]

You know what got you there[00:04:15]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:04:21]
