Shortest Road to the Bank Lyrics by Emily Ortego

Love Drought

2020

[Verse 1]
The shortest road to the bank ain't always the best way
But maybe that's just how I was raised
If time moves slow I guess I'll do the same
And let the cards fall where they may
[Chorus]
If it's a race to the top, I'll get there when I get there
I'll take it one step at a time
You'll go your own way and I'll go mine
I'll take it one step at a time
Oh, I'll take it one step at a time
[Verse 2]
The shortest road to the bank skips all thе little things
It doesn't leavе room for the dream
And you'll cuss and hiss about who you became
And wonder why you feel all this pain
[Chorus]
If it's a race to the top, I'll get there when I get there
I'll take it one step at a time
You'll go your own way and I'll go mine
I'll take it one step at a time
Oh, I'll take it one step at a time
Come on, boys
[Bridge]
It doesn't have to be that hard
It doesn't have to be that hard
The shortest road to the bank ain't always the best way
It doesn't have to be that hard
It doesn't have to be that hard
The shortest road to the bank ain't always the best way
[Chorus]
If it's a race to the top, I'll get there when I get there
I'll take it one step at a time
You'll go your own way and I'll go mine
I'll take it one step at a time
If it's a race to the top, I'll get there when I get there
I'll take it one step at a time
You'll go your own way and I'll go mine
I'll take it one step at a time
Oh, I'll take it one step at a time
Oh, I'll take it one step at a time
