Don´t think I´ve ever seen your kind of pretty
Wandering around 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 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 momma
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 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

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 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
