Testo The Long Way - Jessi Alexander
Testo della canzone The Long Way (Jessi Alexander), tratta dall'album Honeysuckle Sweet
That's me on the pickup truck
Waitin' for summer boy to pick me up
He wants to change my zip code and change my luck
With warm beer and stale cigarettes
That's me from the broken home
Angry voices were all I'd known
So I went down the road actin' full grown
'Cause he was my best chance yet
Hungry for love at any cost
I did what I had to do
But that's a long way from where I stand today
Another girl a lifetime away
I won't forget, but I don't regret
The lesson in every mistake
I guess some of us have to take the long way
And that's me on the boulevard
Watchin' my big dreams dyin' hard, yeah
Left with nothin' but a cheap guitar
And a cold bitter look at the truth
That's me again packin' my bags
Backseat holdin' everything I had
And a prideful voice sayin', "Girl, don't you look back
And don't let 'em get you down"
I learned right then to thicken my skin
Determined to prove them wrong
But that's a long way from where I stand today
Another girl a lifetime away
I won't forget, and I don't regret
The lesson in every mistake
I guess some of us have to take the long way
(The long way)
Yeah, it was the hard way
And that's a long way from where I stand today
Another girl a lifetime away
We silence the voices, make our own choices
Somehow the hopeless get saved
Some of us have to take the long way
(The long way)
It was the long way
