lyrics

I've lived in the city
I've lived by the blue sea
I've lived in the valley
Between snowy mountain peaks

I've lived in an old brick town
Watched the railroad wind down
Through the tales and stories
We weave cross time now

I'm in no hurry to make it where I'm bound
I'm taking the long way round

My friends live in apartments
Moved in with their partners
Working for a salary
Walking down concrete streets

I moved to the country
Never want to forget the sweet
Rhythm of the wind through the trees
Or a river round my feet

Cuz I'm in no hurry to make it where I'm bound
I'm taking the long way round

I wandered far from my family
Love em dear but I had to leave
And see what this world asked of me
Before my roots grew too deep

I've let lovers come and go
Nothin ever strong enough to hold
But there ain't no timeline
For a love that fits right

For I'm in no hurry to make it where I'm bound
I'm taking the long way round

Now I wake up early
And my clothes are all dirty
From digging rows and planting seeds
Growing something bigger than me

I pick a tune on my banjo
The more I learn the less I know
But for every high and every low
I wouldn't trade for another's road

I'm in no hurry to make it where I'm bound
I'm taking the long way round
