Long Way Home

You took the long way home
You took the long way home
I was wrong and you were right
But you know how hard I tried
But you took the long way home
You came back to me a different man
You came back to me a different man
I know you’re not to blame
But my heart broke all the same
You came back to me a different man
You in your uniform where I left you at the station
When you told me not to turn around
Oh, how I wish I’d taken one more look at your face
Because you’re a stranger to me now
You in your uniform where I left you at the station
When you told me not to turn around
Oh, how I wish I’d taken one more look at your face
Because you’re a stranger to me now
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
Another kid gone to war
Wondering what he came back for
You took the long way home
You took the long way home
