Taking the Long Way Home

[Verse] Benoit's a country boy, livin' off the land He's got a beat-up Chevy truck, guitar in his hand He sings 'bout them rural roads and the simple things But there's one thing he won't do, no matter the offerings [Verse 2] He's got his reasons and they're close to his heart Benoit cares 'bout the earth, wants to do his part He won't fly no planes, gotta keep it green Walkin' that extra mile, that's just who he's been [Chorus] But he's takin' the long way home, down that lonesome road Gonna fight for his choices, standin' bold He won't let 'em take his dreams away with the wind Benoit's takin' the long way home, to save his world within [Verse] He's got his reasons Holdin' 'em tight Cares for the planet Wants to make it right No airplanes for him Gotta keep it green Walkin' that mile That's just how he's been [Verse 2] He's got his reasons Close to his heart Benoit's a fighter Gonna do his part No planes in the sky Keepin' it clean Walkin' that extra mile That's just his routine [Chorus] But he's takin' the long way home Down that lonesome road Fightin' for his choices Standin' bold Won't let 'em take his dreams away with the wind Benoit's takin' the long way home To save his world within
