Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty

Wandering 'round this midnight mad house 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

Take me the long way around your town

Where you're 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

I'd love to see just

Where your daddy met your mamma

Your hand me down '99 impala

Show me the field you danced in clover

The harvest in October

When the leaves fall from the sky

Just like a Sunday drive

Take me the long way around your town

Where you're 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

I didn't think tonight when I walked in

I'd be falling for somewhere I've never been

Take me the long way around your town

Where you're the queen with the silver crown

I want your red blushing stories

Your faults and your glories

That made you who you are right now

Take me the long way around

Take me the long way around
