They're flippin' chairs on the tables

switchin' off the open sign

DJ behind the bar started playin' "Closing Time"

We ain't gotta go home, but we can't stay here

That little look just made it perfectly clear

We should probably take the long way home

We should probably take that old dirt road

Steal some minutes from the miles

some kisses from your smile

Yeah, I'm thinkin' we both need some more time alone

We should probably take the long way home

Yeah, the long way home

Hit the straight on 31, I'll put it in cruise

That'll free up a shoulder for you to lean into

You'll wanna play some Trisha, pull over, danced with me

You drank tequila, yeah, I know what that means

We should probably take the long way home

We should probably take that old dirt road

Steal some minutes from the miles

some kisses from your smile

Yeah, I'm thinkin' we both need some more time alone

We should probably take the long way home

I don't want this night to end

Yeah, and it looks like the moon

Wants to keep this party goin' just like you do

(We should probably take the long way home)

We should probably take that old dirt road

Steal some minutes from the miles

some kisses from your smile

Yeah, I'm thinkin' we both need some more time alone

We should probably take the long way home

Yeah, the long way home
