Verse 1

 There's a sadness in the air

 On the train to Tennessee

 And I know there's no

angel watching over me

All I have to hold

 Is this atlas and

 a note that reads

 If ever you are ready

to come home again

 I'll be waiting up

 But please don't be too long

 You know I never meant

 to make you lonesome

 But I got my own plans

 And if you love me understand

 I've got to take this road

 to find out who I really am

Chorus 1

 So tonight I'll take

 the long way home

 And drink until I

can't remember you

 Or why I ever started

If I can't hold you

 Gonna fold you like a

note and keep you here

With me

Verse 2

Thought about your smile

 On the car ride up to Madison

 Are you still letting go?

 Are you still letting go?

 Cause I've been trying to move on

 But I'm feeling so damn lost

 Without your love

 Without your love

(Repeat Chorus)

 I want you here

With me

Chorus 2

 So tonight I'll take

 the long way home

 And drink with me

 until the sun comes up

 look at what we started

If I can't hold you

 Gonna fold you like a

note and keep you here

With me
