[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...

[Chorus]
Drive a little slower, don’t matter where we’re going
As long as I’m with you, we could take the long way

[Verse 2]
Chevy Nova, front seat, sofa, getting closer, to you

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
We could 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]
Headlights, not strobe lights
I can see you, but not quite
I can feel you inside; the timing is just right
For the moment, I don’t want to go home
Take the long way, Take the long way
Whoah whoah whoah
Take the long way
Whoah whoah whoah

[Chorus]
Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we’re going
Take the long way
Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we going now
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

[Outro]
Long drive, long night
The best night of my life
