I hit the highway

In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling

Lived like a gypsy

Six strong hands on the steering wheel

Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

And I'm gettin' it back on the road now

VERSE:
Gsus2 G Gsus2 G
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
Gsus2 G Gsus2 G
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
Gsus2 G Gsus2 G
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Gsus2 G Gsus2 G
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
Em D C G
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Em D C G
Taking the long way
Em D Csus2 G
Taking the long way around
