The Long Way - Albert Cummings

I take the long way

'Cause the long way is all that I see

I take the long way

'Cause the short way never works for me

Once I start you know I never look back

I know I'll get there if I stay on track

It doesn't matter how long it takes

I know I'll get there if I patiently wait

I take the long way

'Cause the long way is all that I see

I take the long way

'Cause the short way never works for me

I've always been one to take my time

I've never been one to 'cross the line

I work my fingers right down into the bone

And even then I say carry on

I take the long long way

Because the long way is all that I see

I take the long way

'Cause the short way never works for me

Hard work nothin' less

It's a sure thing

It's the key to success

There's no easy way

There's no magic pill

It's just reality

And your sense of will

I take the long way

'Cause the long way is all that I see

I take the long way

'Cause the short way never works for me
