Lyrics
[Verse 1] You text, “Where are you?” I’m halfway out the door One old map folded on the passenger floor No plan for the evening, no reason to wait We turn at the river and stay out late [Pre-Chorus] Every wrong turn feels right tonight Your laugh in the window, the town sliding by [Chorus] Take the long way, don’t hurry home We’ve got a little time of our own Two bright headlights and a radio tune Making a memory out of an afternoon Take the long way, wherever it goes You and me with the windows low If tomorrow asks where we’ve been We’ll say we found a road and followed it [Verse 2] We buy cold lemonade from a roadside stand Draw little blue circles in the dust with our hands You pick a song that you barely know But by the second chorus, we’re singing along [Pre-Chorus] Every red light gives us one more minute The whole wide world can wait while we’re in it [Chorus] Take the long way, don’t hurry home We’ve got a little time of our own Two bright headlights and a radio tune Making a memory out of an afternoon Take the long way, wherever it goes You and me with the windows low If tomorrow asks where we’ve been We’ll say we found a road and followed it [Bridge] Maybe these days won’t come back around Maybe that’s why we keep driving now No perfect picture, no need to pretend Just one more mile before the night ends [Final Chorus] Take the long way, don’t hurry home We’ve got a little time of our own Two bright headlights and a radio tune Making a memory out of an afternoon Take the long way, wherever it goes You and me with the windows low If tomorrow asks where we’ve been We’ll say we found a road and followed it [Outro] One more turn, one more mile Stay a little while
