[00:00.00]Taking the Long Way - Swingin' Utters
[00:09.43]I came upon a row of pretty houses
[00:13.91]So still and secretive and nearly perfect
[00:18.04]Said to myself “it may be worth it”
[00:22.79]Thought to myself “
[00:23.69]Maybe you'll be worthy”
[00:27.25]So I started to take the long way home
[00:29.68]And in my mind I made
[00:30.53]The neighborhood my own
[00:31.94]Started to save but
[00:32.79]I just owed too much dough
[00:36.67]Ten odd years down a different road
[00:40.94]I'd left my city and I'd left my home
[00:45.08]I found myself in that place again
[00:50.15]Some kind of pretty little accident
[00:54.47]It made me feel sick of being
[00:56.83]Like I was old and convalescing
[00:59.23]Gave me reasons to regret
[01:00.12]Made me wanna forget
[01:03.67]So I guess the grass is always greener
[01:08.26]Where all the other homes
[01:08.98]Are so much cleaner
[01:12.65]The plumbing's sound
[01:13.31]And the bills are no bother
[01:17.04]The cars are fast and
[01:18.07]The weather's a wonder
[01:22.06]No I'm gonna
[01:22.72]Take the long way home
[01:23.98]I might stop to chew the scenery alone
[01:26.42]But I won't swallow it whole
