The Longest Way Lyrics by Danny Schmidt

Standard Deviation

2019

I'm here to say that if you take the longest way
You might just find that eventually's just fine
Making scenes and taking postcards in between
It's quite the day when you can take the longest way
Old dirty cars, they used to shine like lucky stars
And they still might if they catch your eye just right
And if they do they'll surely whistle back at you
It's quite the day when you can take the longest way
It's like sittin' down to Mama's cooking
Gathered round by Daddy's side
All it takes is stop and lookin'
All it takes is one loooooong drive
Rolling south, where she'll kiss you on the mouth
Sweet New Orleans, she's just as easy as she seems
From pines to palms, beware the southern charms
It's quite the day when you can take the longest way
Then head back north, where she'll pay you what you're worth
Sweet Manitobe, she's cuddly when she's cold
From palms to pines, beware the simple signs
It's quite the day when you can take the longest way
It's like sittin' down to Mama's cooking
Gathered round by Daddy's side
All it takes is stop and lookin'
All it takes is one long drive
An empty town is like a girl in grandma's gown
Cause in their times, they're both beauties in their primes
Still today, it just takes a certain gaze
It's quite the day when you can take the longest way
Now roads are straight, now they're so fast you miss your fate
Give me bends and give me miles and miles of friends
Give me curves and the secrets they preserve
It's quite the day when you can take the longest way
It's like sittin' down to Mama's cooking
Gathered round by Daddy's side
All it takes is stop and lookin'
All it takes is one long drive
