The Long Way Lyrics by Anna Graves
No need to be cryin’ about it
My limbs are tired of walking and wired and keepin’ up
No use in me quietly drowning
Caught in the years of lingering fear, mourning who I was
The years of chasin’, trying on faces
What a waste of time
I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
I wanna be happy with nothin’
When the kingdom comes
The ones that I love will hold the key
And I wanna be dirty and sun kissed
The miles on my face told stories of failing
Finding out who I was meant to be
So I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
And I might get lost with the bees and the honey
And I might show up a little late to the party
But it’s okay
I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
Might be broke, but I don’t do it for the money
And might be right that I didn’t know I wanted
But it’s okay, yeah, baby, it’s okay
I’ll take the long way
I’ll take the long way
