- Mary Chapin Carpenter the long way home 歌詞
- Mary Chapin Carpenter
- You could be this man, hes got it all worked out
To the nth degree, no fears, no doubts
Hell retire at thirty to his big-ass house next to the putting green
Now hes got a picture in his head of the perfect wife,
Their perfect children, their perfect life
Nothing wrong with that, coming home each night to his cul-de-sac of dreams
Funny now how it all went by so fast
One day hes looking over his shoulder at the past
When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere
How did he forget about what got him there
Now you could be this woman, shes the CEO
Shes got her powersuits and her IPOs
She punched a hole in the ceiling years ago and she hasnt pulled back since
Now theres a gardener for the flowers, a cook for the meals,
A maid for the laundry, an accountant for the bills
A walker for the dog and a trainer when she feels the need to lose an inch
Funny now how it all went by so fast
One day shes looking over her shoulder at the past
When everybody had to go, had to be, had to get somewhere
Somehow she forgot about what got her there
Accidents and inspiration lead you to your destination
Or you could be the one who takes the long way home
Roll down your window, turn off your phone
See your life as a gift from the great unknown
And your task is to receive it
Tell your kid a story, hold your lover tight
Make a joyful noise, swim naked at night
Read a poem a day, call in well sometimes and
Laugh when they believe it
Funny now howit all goes by so fast
One day Im looking over my shoulder at the past
Now everybodys got to go, got to be, got to get somewhere
Baby dont forget about
You really shouldnt forget about
Baby dont forget about what got you there
I think its what got you there
Yeah its really what got you there
You know what got you there
