My Long Way Around
ZN Rock
I could've taken every shortcut on the line
Could've quit in any town and called it fine
But something kept me driving when the road went black
And I wouldn't trade a single mile of it back
Ask me if I'd trade the miles I lost
I'd tell you they were worth whatever they cost
I took the long way around
Every wrong road, every dead-end town
Everything I lost, I found
On the long way around
I'm not sorry where I've been
I'd go and do it all again
I took the long way around
There's a version of my life I never had
Where I got it right and never lost a thing
He's a stranger to me now and I'm glad
'Cause he never learned the songs I had to sing
Ask me if I'd want a cleaner start
I'd tell you I'd keep every busted part
I took the long way around
Every wrong road, every dead-end town
Everything I lost, I found
On the long way around
I'm not sorry where I've been
I'd go and do it all again
I took the long way around
Everybody wants it easy, wants it fast
Nobody tells you easy never lasts
You don't learn a thing when everything goes right
You learn it in the dark, you learn it in the fight
I took the long way around
Every wrong road, every dead-end town
Everything I lost, I found
On the long way around
And I know now where I've been
I'd go and walk it all again
I took the long way around
Long way around
Long way around
Long way around
Long way around
(Wouldn't trade a mile of it)
Long way around
