[Verse 1]
I'm a sinking sun with new horizons
Just lookin' for a place to land
I'm a sparkler how to be a fire
Shoot me down but I'll be back again
Tonight I'll hop another train
No I ain't go no ETA

[Chorus]
Don't you worry
Don't you cry
About my wonderin' soul
You go your way
I'll go mine
But I'm never lost
Heaven knows
I take the long way home

[Verse 2]
I remember wading muddy waters
Before I knew I couldn't swim
Now life can go and throw me off the deep end
Shoot me down but I'll be back again

[Chorus]
Don't you worry
Don't you cry
About my wonderin' soul
You go your way
I'll go mine
But I'm never lost
Heaven knows
I take the long way home
[Bridge]
Until that sunrise
Becomes your porch light
Know that I'll be okay
Under the same stars
Shining where you are
I'm not too far away
No I ain't got no ETA
But I got some letters that the future wrote
Told me to take an old back road
Someday soon I know somewhere
Yeah maybe I will meet you there

[Chorus]
Don't you worry
Don't you cry
About my wonderin' soul
You go your way
I'll go mine
But I'm never lost
Heaven knows
I take the long way home
The long way home
I take the long way home
