Drivin' home from a heartache
Just me and our song on the radio
Sweet smell of your perfume
Lingers on my clothes
You pushed away our last embrace
Our final fairwell kiss
But the lookin your eye and the ache in my heart
Said the trip won't end like this

Chorus:
The man behind the wheel is a patient man
More than willing to do his part
I don't mind taking the long way around
If it takes me to your heart

You said we're moving way too fast
We need to slow it down
Take that old familiar road back to safer ground
The road ahead has hot you scared
But I know we'll try again
We can't stop this love with heaven right around the bend

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And I would go a million miles
Through the wind and the pourin' rain
Through the deep as black as night
If I could just outrun this pain

And I don't mind takin' the long way around
If it takes me to your heart
Drivin' home from a heartache
