<pre><font size='+2'>THE LONG WAY HOME lyrics MARYCHAPIN CARPENTER</font><br>You could be this man, he`s got it all worked out<br />
<br />
To the nth degree, no fears, no doubts<br />
<br />
He`ll retire at thirty to his big-ass house next to the putting green<br />
<br />
Now he`s got a picture in his head of the perfect wife, <br />
<br />
Their perfect children, their perfect life<br />
<br />
Nothing wrong with that, coming home each night to his cul-de-sac of dreams<br />
<br />
Funny now how it all went by so fast<br />
<br />
One day he`s looking over his shoulder at the past<br />
<br />
When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere<br />
<br />
How did he forget about what got him there<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you could be this woman, she`s the CEO<br />
<br />
She`s got her power suits and her IPO`s<br />
<br />
She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago and she hasn`t pulled back since<br />
<br />
Now there`s a gardener for the flowers, a cook for the meals, <br />
<br />
A maid for the laundry, an accountant for the bills<br />
<br />
A walker for the dog and a trainer when she feels the need to lose an inch<br />
<br />
Funny now how it all went by so fast<br />
<br />
One day she`s looking over her shoulder at the past<br />
<br />
When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere<br />
<br />
Somehow she forgot about what got her there<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Or you could be the one who takes the long way home<br />
<br />
Roll down your window, turn off your phone<br />
<br />
See your life as a gift from the great unknown<br />
<br />
And your task is to receive it<br />
<br />
Tell your kid a story, hold your lover tight<br />
<br />
Make a joyful noise, swim naked at night<br />
<br />
Read a poem a day, call in well sometimes and<br />
<br />
Laugh when they believe it<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Funny now how it all goes by so fast<br />
<br />
One day I`m looking over my shoulder at the past<br />
<br />
Now everybody`s got to go, got to be, got to get somewhere<br />
<br />
Baby don`t forget about<br />
<br />
You really shouldn`t forget about<br />
<br />
Baby don`t forget what got you there<br />
<br />
I think it`s what got you there<br />
<br />
Yeah it`s really what got you there<br />
<br />
You know what got you there<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_long_way_home_lyrics-marychapin_carpenter.html" target='_blank'>THE LONG WAY HOME lyrics MARYCHAPIN CARPENTER</a></pre>

You could be this man, he`s got it all worked out

To the nth degree, no fears, no doubts

He`ll retire at thirty to his big-ass house next to the putting green

Now he`s got a picture in his head of the perfect wife,

Their perfect children, their perfect life

Nothing wrong with that, coming home each night to his cul-de-sac of dreams

Funny now how it all went by so fast

One day he`s looking over his shoulder at the past

When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere

How did he forget about what got him there

Now you could be this woman, she`s the CEO

She`s got her power suits and her IPO`s

She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago and she hasn`t pulled back since

Now there`s a gardener for the flowers, a cook for the meals,

A maid for the laundry, an accountant for the bills

A walker for the dog and a trainer when she feels the need to lose an inch

Funny now how it all went by so fast

One day she`s looking over her shoulder at the past

When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere

Somehow she forgot about what got her there

Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination

Or you could be the one who takes the long way home

Roll down your window, turn off your phone

See your life as a gift from the great unknown

And your task is to receive it

Tell your kid a story, hold your lover tight

Make a joyful noise, swim naked at night

Read a poem a day, call in well sometimes and

Laugh when they believe it

Funny now how it all goes by so fast

One day I`m looking over my shoulder at the past

Now everybody`s got to go, got to be, got to get somewhere

Baby don`t forget about

You really shouldn`t forget about

Baby don`t forget what got you there

I think it`s what got you there

Yeah it`s really what got you there

You know what got you there
