Tom Waits Long Way Home

TOM WAITS: LONG WAY HOME (from Orphans CD)

LYRICS:

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
Is there a light up ahead
I can't hold on very long
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home

I put food on the table
And a roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For The highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
That loves the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home

It sounds like he's been smoking since he was a toddler.

"A good spanking and a timely pullout" is my philosophy for alot of things!

When you're that cool, it doesn't even matter.

I couldnt agree with you more man. I support the soldier, not the war. I share the same views as you on the war. I have a question for ya tho, just out of sheer curiosity. If you share those kinds of views on the war and current situation, what made you want to join and fight? Just curious. I dont want to sound rude or anything.
