[Verse 1]
The cover band sounds pretty good tonight
But somethin’ about the vibe ain't hittin' you just right
I can see it on your face, you’ve had a long week
By the way you keep looking at me
I’ll grab the tab, you can finish that drink
Let’s ditch this scene

[Chorus]
We can go out where we can’t see
Any of those city streets
Nothing in the middle of you and me
But the song blaring through the radio
Got you singing a little off key
Wanna see you dance in those bare feet
In the middle of nowhere know one knows
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home

[Verse 2]
We don’t need the glow of the neon lights
Cause I’d take your moonlight eyes over any southern sky
Roll the windows down and just let go
Get a little lost on those back roads
And I’ll be the crowd, and you’ll be the show
You got me sittin’ front row

[Chorus]
We can go out where we can’t see
Any of those city streets
Nothing in the middle of you and me
But the song blaring through the radio
Got you singing a little off key
Wanna see you dance in those bare feet
In the middle of nowhere know one knows
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home

[Pre-Chorus]
Out in the middle of nowhere
Girl, I’m gonna take you there…

[Chorus]
We can go out where we can’t see
Any of those city streets
Nothing in the middle of you and me
But the song blaring through the radio
Got you singing a little off key
Wanna see you dance in those bare feet
In the middle of nowhere know one knows
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home
We can go out where we can’t see
Any of those city streets
Nothing in the middle of you and me
But the song blaring through the radio
Got you singing a little off key
Wanna see you dance in those bare feet
In the middle of nowhere know one knows
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home

[Outro]
We're gonna take, we're gonna take the long way home
