The Long Way Around - Dixie Chicks

My friends from high schoolMarried their high school boyfriendsMoved into houses in the same ZIP codesWhere their parents live
But I, I could never followNo I, I could never followI hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceilingLived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheelI`ve been a long time gone nowMaybe someday, someday I`m gonna settle downBut I`ve always found my way somehow
By taking the long wayTaking the long way aroundTaking the long wayTaking the long way around
I met the queen of whateverDrank with the Irish and smoked with the hippiesMoved with the shakersWouldn`t kiss all the asses that they told me to
No I, I could never followNo I, I could never followIt`s been two long years nowSince the top of the world came crashing down
And I`m getting` it back on the road nowBut I`m taking the long wayTaking the long way aroundI`m taking the long way
Taking the long way around The long The long way aroundWell, I fought with a stranger and I met myselfI opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourselfGuess I could have made it easier on myselfBut I, I could never followNo I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody elseMaybe someday, someday I`m gonna settle downIf you ever want to find me I can still be found
