Bob Seger - The long Way Home

From the Album: Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band (1991)

Lyrics:

Winners, losers and small time misusers
Do what they must on their own
Lovers, dreamers and beautiful schemers
All take the long way home
Some have their reasons
Some lose their way
They all want so much to succeed
How do you tell them apart
The best of them leave with their hearts

Now that its summer
I went to the river
The water was never too cold
Always together through all kinds of weather
We took the long way home
She was the best
I ever knew
Somehow she drifted away

Now that Im older
The nights seems much colder
I spend too much time alone
Sometimes in summer
I kept thinking of her
And Ill take the long way home
Ill still take the long way home

As always with Seger, amazing songwriting, AMAZING arrangement. That longing sax - so powerful... Thank you Bob. By far the most underappreciated songwriter of a generation. Your music is the anthem of my life.

You have some of the lyrics wrong .......It should be

Now that Im older

The nights seems much colder

I spend too much time alone

Sometimes in summer

I'll get thinking of her

And Ill take the long way home

Ill still take the long way home

You have some of the lyrics wrong .......It should be

I met her.. in summer

we went to the river

The water was never too cold

Always together through all kinds of weather

We took the long way home

She was the best

I ever knew

Somehow she drifted away
