Lyrics
Intro
maleWe could have taken the interstate homeYou pointed west like we were still unknownAmarillo lights in a rearview blurI did not ask why, I just followed her
Chorus
togetherThe long way around AmarilloLove does not mind a slower pillowIf the hours stack we can spend them rightThe long way around tonight
Solo
femaleYou talked about your daddy's old placeI talked about the years I tried to eraseWe did not fix it all in a hundred milesBut you looked at me and I found a smile
Chorus
togetherThe long way around AmarilloLove does not mind a slower pillowIf the hours stack we can spend them rightThe long way around tonight
Bridge
[Together] Next time they ask why we are lateWe will say the map had a better fate
Outro
The long way aroundAmarillo
