Carpenter Mary-Chapin - The Long Way Home - Sözleri

You could be this man, he's got it all worked out


To the nth degree, no fears, no doubts


He'll retire at thirty to his big-ass house next to the putting green


Now he's got a picture in his head of the perfect wife, 


Their perfect children, their perfect life


Bothing wrong with that, coming home each night to his cul-de-sac of dreams


Funny now how it all went by so fast


One day he's looking over his shoulder at the past


When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere


How did he forget about what got him there





Now you could be this woman, she's the CEO


She's got her powersuits and her IPO's


She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago and she hasn't pulled back since


Now there's a gardener for the flowers, a cook for the meals, 


A maid for the laundry, an accountant for the bills


A walker for the dog and a trainer when she feels the need to lose an inch


Funny now how it all went by so fast


One day she's looking over her shoulder at the past


When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere


Somehow she forgot about what got her there





Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination





Or you could be the one who takes the long way home


Roll down your window, turn off your phone


See your life as a gift from the great unknown


And your task is to receive it


Tell your kid a story, hold your lover tight


Make a joyful noise, swim naked at night


Read a poem a day, call in well sometimes and


Laugh when they believe it





Funny now how it all goes by so fast


One day I'm looking over my shoulder at the past


Now everybody's got to go, got to be, got to get somewhere


Baby don't forget about


You really shouldn't forget about


Baby don't forget what got you there


I think it's what got you there


Yeah it's really what got you there


You know what got you there
