Dixie Chicks - The Long Way Around Lyrics
My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live
No I, I could never follow
I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to
No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now
But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

who dislike this shit common guy´s
WHO CARES ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL THESE AMAZING LADIES WOULD REALLY BE MY CHOICE AT THE SUPERBOWL OF COURSE I KNOW THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION DECIEPT BULL CRAP AND BARE FACED LIES ,BUT THESE MULTI TALENTED LADIES SPEAK THEIR MIND NOT IN DISGUISE COS THEY SAY HOW IT IS TELLING NO LIES AND ARE TRUE LEGENDS IN MY EYES .
Martie is my hall pass. If not doing anything this weekend. My face has reserved seating for 1.Must shower before each ride. A guy has to have standards.
I have always support them and hope that I always will go Dixie Chicks! Love you all!
where is this show?
The girl crying in the beginning of the song says it all. That shows how much they are loved by their millions of fans which I happen to be one of and proud of it. To Natalie, Emily & Martie, Love ya
God I love the Dixie Chicks, but they should fire their stylist
Natalie Maines is so amazing....love her voice and her style is so beautyful. Best Band ever😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love the Dixie Chicks, i love the american People, but i hate your Goverment!
I like the "smoke with the hippies", but as a Mexican-American, would've liked "drank with the Chicanos, haha (but as a New England, living north of Boston...I can deal with "Irish", lol)
Blessings to these magnificent artists! May they always find joy in their performances. They are much loved because they rock and their contributions will stand the test of time. Stay single NM ❤
They’re so much better any bullshit controversy and kick ass for not shutting up!
13 years ago i found Dixie CD on side of the road and i'm listening her ever since
Sober, drunk or high. These ladies are mint to listen too!
Apart from one or two things. This song could have been about me. The sound track to my life. I am a VERY independent woman.
We don't care what you said about Bush, here in Canada, baby girl!!!! We LOVE you Dixie Chicks!!!!
1:25
Too high to realize his dad just took him to dixie chicks instead of ozzfest.
bad ass to the core - excellent!
Don't grow Your Hair!
You look so good.
Nov 2019
Stop saying sorry.
I wanna be on your Sin Train.
Deliver your Moonshine.
I'm thirsty.
Great song and great performance. Love them and their message.
It's been too two many long years now.....since the top of the world came crashing down
Absolute Great it makes me feel good
That moment at 3:11 gives me chills
Love the tunes flowing on youtube of Dixie Chicks! Best female group ever!
I was sooooo waiting for you to comeback. What happened to you for speaking your mind was unjust. Heaven forbid we speak our mind...... NOT! :) I stayed in your corner from day 1 and I am so glad to see you back. We need more strong people like you.
Natalie singing "Maybe someday I'll settle down" while shaking her head clinched it for me. Beautiful.
Who's the idiot that gave Maines the outfit with shoulder pads? It highlights her short neck.... It's All good cause she is BEAUTIFUL....;0)).
Love your music. The best!
Awesome band! Love The Dixie Chicks. Big Fan all the way from INDIA>
They got a raw deal for sure....
Please come back. We need you...join our fight. Ignore the haters. We love you.
are they still together and sing?
This is from their 2016/7 Tour. There should be new music soon!!!!
I guess when your anti American the Dixie chicks become the social security chicks before they actually get air play again.
Vous êtes toujours aussi merveilleuse ! Bon de vous retrouver enfin ! Luv u from Qc Canada !
Those girls are good.they ofcourse were right about Bush and that shitty fake war.
Turns out they actually were right about everything. We need them more than ever ❤️
Scarlet Red yup me too
No they weren't. They are really good performers, and Natalie is a GREAT singer., but their political views are ridiculous liberal tripe. I only care about their ability to play and sing, not their warmed over leftist stupidity. They should shut up and sing, because that's their fucking job. Hating George Bush isn't noble, original or even particularly smart. If liberals weren't such fucking incompetent morons, people like Bush and Donald Trump wouldn't be president But liberals are idiots, who think talking about compassion is a substitute for actual competence.
@Harry Abma jaysus your some brain dead hick.
@mayoforsam 51 I live in New York. We don't have hicks here. What we do have are plenty of idiot liberals, who fail at everything they attempt, everytime. And it never dawns on them that they are the idiots , whose political philosophies always fail because they are based on lunacy, and as such, can never, ever work.
@Harry Abma I've lived in New York, trust me there is. I'm thinking you are one.
One the most potent, moving songs I've ever heard. Just always have loved these amazing ladies. God bless em
LOVE YOU GIRLS, GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
I wanna give this like 30 million thumbs up!
Truth is Truth.....Free Speech can be True. Then ya get bit. Bless 'em
Love, love, love....and always will. 💙💙💙
I wanna give this like 30 million thumbs up!
it's been 2 long years now-since the top of the world came crashing down------*it's been 2 way too many long years*--------- the punishment didn't fit the "crime"...... please make, or at least play music again.... Natiie, Emily, & Marty.... luv u !
Where is this venue ?
So glad to see that your coming back
They got chemistry nailed it.
Super talented and easy on the eyes... I like
The real country music. Gosh I miss you girls!

An army of three! They attack with such virtuosity!
U gotta get that new album out but I know you got to have the right songs and they are so hard to write or find. If U were not so good U would not be so hard to write for. Catch 22 I guess.
Come on girls get back on tour love your music you are awesome !!!!
So classy looking. How did such perfect pieces of a puzzle from this whole world fall into place. I noticed every one had each other's back when the shit was flying. Gotta be God.
Fantastic song by a fantastic Group

WANTS
TO SEE YOU
YOU AWESOME
DOLLS
CHICKS
LADIES
When are they coming back its been to long.
They haven’t missed a beat. Still sound great. One of those bands that sound better live. Got a bad rap for nothing, but so resileant. Court yard hounds are great a s well. Hope they do more together.
Hi mommy
dixie chicks are my life
That crowd is LIVING!!!! lol
The fact they’ve not released any new music in 16 years and they’re selling out venues like this!! That is what you call an achievement. Complete legends
they're beautiful and they make and perform real music. I especially relish the looks of that Natalie
Superbe !!!
Nat's makeup is brutal here. The drummer's not wearing makeup. She shouldn't, either.
Amazing performance and show. Please come to Germany.
It's taking a long way for you to come back .. just love you, Dixie Chicks! ♥️
4:15- THAT guy is awesome!
Perfect and I love the crowd
Who can confirm where this concert was filmed
Beautiful harmonies! I'm from Natalie's hometown and she's right about girls marrying high school boyfriends and living the exact same life. That's okay IF that's what you REALLY want, and not doing it because that's what's expected or because "everybody" does it. But if you have a gypsy heart and an artist's soul, that will NEVER be enough and will feel like a prison sentence.
Please tour again, my daughter needs role models
What’s Toby Keith up to these days? Lol.
Richest man in country music.
Who's toby keith?
Wonderful song and three of my favourite ladies
Saw them on this tour in Dublin and it was a tremendous performance
Just as good as when I saw them supporting their 'Home' album
Definitely need more new music from the Dixies - please ?
Hi mom😶
Wow! That was amazing! It brought tears to my eyes :)
I just love the Dixie Chicks!!!
lol the grannies headbangin
Glorious!!! I missed you ladies. I'm so damn sick and tired of the same, usually mindless crap the radio stations play!
I watch this to see happy people.
Hate Natalie’s hair but love this fab song
The best.
This is one of the most amazing concerts I've ever seen! It's like a Dead show in there lol
Loved you guys forever! Hope to see you someday!🙏❤
perfection!!
Truth is Truth.....Free Speech can be True. Then ya get bit. Bless 'em
PLEASE COME TO PITTSBURGH!!!! :((((
Never seen 'em. Chicks, when are you eventually going to HAMBURG, GERMANY? You'd have sold out every hall, I promise!
See, THIS makes me so happy. It really does. Because while I _CAN'T_ back the comments and the attitude of the group over the George W. Bush comments (especially Natalie Maine's DEFIANT wish to not try and build bridges again) . . . I CAN say that the media reaction and the bans and the blacklisting was one of the most embarrassingly offensive reactions to free speech in our modern history. I'm old enough to have seen their movie _Shut up and Sing,_ so I know full-well how poorly their tour sold after their media fallout. They were practically BANNED from the American South. And now look at them—rocking a PACKED stadium again. This just really makes me happy. Because they're a great group—they really are. She's a wonderful singer, they've got some really great songs.
I'll never be a fan of their comments about the President, but I'll ALWAYS be a fan of their songs and their talent. So to see them just OWNING that stage again to a packed stadium full of cowboys and gals is just magic to me. Congratulations on this. You deserve it. "Taking the Long Way" is right. You did, and you did it. You're back. Congratulations.

Imagine if everyone who said something about our current president got smeared the way these girls did.
George W. Bush was a complete twat and so is the current "President" of the US, in fact he's even more embarrassing, even George W. Bush looks in with incredulity. Unfortunately the PM of the UK is also a total posh public school boy bell-end that wants to take the country to rack and ruin, so at the moment we aren't much better off.
A long way around <3
I've always enjoyed their music and admired them for standing their ground/taking a stand. Live and sing on!! "Hoorah"
Still kickin'
I love the country music Dixie Chicks sing very much I love your songs
Dixie chicks is the best 💕 I still memorize the lyrics
