Mates of State - Long Way Home (Tom Waits Cover)

Mates of State
Crushes
Long Way Home


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
There a light up ahead
I can't hold onto her arm
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 head full of lightning
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 roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell you
Love's 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

the "yeah" stuff is seriously ridiculous - I thought it was a parody at first. Mates of States other (live) performances are much, much better.

Mates of State actually has another version of this song. There's a post that talks about it and has a link to the other version. You can find it if you enter this into a search engine (I'm doing it this way because youtube doesn't allow actual links:

"long way home" "mates of state" pinna
