Verse 1:
Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty
Wandering 'round this midnight, madhouse city
You got a look that says you got it all together
So if you don't mind I'd like to know you better
Chorus:
Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want the secrets you keep
The shine underneath of the diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
Verse 2:
I'd love to see just where your daddy met your mama
Your hand-me-down '99 Impala
Show me the field you danced in Clover
The harvest in October
When the leaves from the sky just like a Sunday drive
Chorus:
Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want the secrets you keep
The love underneath of the diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
Breakdown:
Didn't think tonight when I walked in
I'd be falling for somewhere I've never been
Chorus:
Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want your red blushing stories
Your faults and your glories
That makes you who you are right now
Take me the long way around
Take me the long way around
