The Long Way Around Is the Sweetest Way Home

The long way around is the sweetest way home,
Or so I've heard country folk say.
No matter how far you may wander or roam,
The long way around is the sweetest way home.

When I was much younger than I am today
My time was too precious to flitter away.
I rushed and I hurried at work and at play
Until one day I heard a friend of mine say,
"The long way around is the sweetest way home.
You see things much better that way."
No matter how far you may wander or roam,
The long way around is the sweetest way home.

We'll stop on the way
Just to savor the day,
And we'll watch and we'll listen
To what people say.
We'll smell all the roses
And not be alone.
The long way around is the sweetest way home.
