[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A                                                         D
I was thinking 'bout a front porch kiss 'bout to drop you off
    A                                            E
But we got to talking so I wound up circling the block
     A
Then you leaned over turned the radio up
    D
And I turned the tires on this pickup truck
             A
To where the blacktop roads run out
   E
It looks like baby right now
 
 
[Chorus]
               A
I'm taking the long way
        D
Turning left when I should'a turned right
            A
It's been a long day
        E
Looking like it's gonna be a long night
    A                               D
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
                 A    E
We're taking the long way
           A
Taking you home yeah
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Your smiles telling me to keep going
                 D
So I ain't gonna stop
         A                                       E
'Til the sun comes up or these 8 lug wheels fall off
          A
Well baby we can go fast or we can go slow
     D
Just keep them kisses on cruise control
A
We got us a wild hare
         E
We gonna get there when we get there
 
 
[Chorus]
               A
I'm taking the long way
        D
Turning left when I should'a turned right
            A
It's been a long day
        E
Looking like it's gonna be a long night
    A                               D
Got 300 horses and a 20 gallon tank 2 hearts raring to go
                 A    E
We're taking the long way
           A
Taking you home yeah

Looking like it's gonna be a long night
    A                               D
