verse 1: Long drive, long night. The best night of my life. With you, riding. Your hand on my hand. The thought of arriving kind of feels like dying. I don't want to go home and be alone. Could we stay out, could you Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going. As long as I'm with you. We can take the long way. verse 2: Chevy Nova, front seat sofa. Getting closer to you. Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going. As long as I'm with you. We can take the long way. Drive a little slower, not ready to go home, I'd rather stay with you. * We can take the long way out. To the country, out of town. Let's get lost, I don't wanna be found. * Let's get away now. And be careful not to crash. There's no defrost and we're steaming the glass. You and the road have a generous shoulder. We can pull over and say we took the long way. Bridge: Head lights, strobe lights. I can see you, but not quite. I can feel you inside. The timing is just right. The moment, I don't want to go home. Chorus:
