The Long Way - Albert Cummings
I take the long way
'Cause the long way is all that I see
I take the long way
'Cause the short way never works for me
Once I start you know I never look back
I know I'll get there if I stay on track
It doesn't matter how long it takes
I know I'll get there if I patiently wait
I take the long way
'Cause the long way is all that I see
I take the long way
'Cause the short way never works for me
I've always been one to take my time
I've never been one to 'cross the line
I work my fingers right down into the bone
And even then I say carry on
I take the long long way
Because the long way is all that I see
I take the long way
'Cause the short way never works for me
Hard work nothin' less
It's a sure thing
It's the key to success
There's no easy way
There's no magic pill
It's just reality
And your sense of will
I take the long way
'Cause the long way is all that I see
I take the long way
'Cause the short way never works for me
