"Long Way Home" by Tom Waits from the album 'Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards'
Lyrics
Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
though I said I'd go before us
and show the way back home
is there a light up ahead
I can't hold on very long
forgive me pretty baby but
I always take the long way home
money's just something you throw
off the back of a train
I got a head full of lightning
a hat full of rain
I know that I said
I'd never do it again
I love you pretty baby but
I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
and a roof over our head
but I'd trade it all tomorrow
for the highway instead
watch your back
keep your eyes shut tight
your love's the only thing I've ever known
one thing's for sure pretty baby
I always take the long way home
you know I love you baby
more than the whole wide world
you are my woman
you know you are my pearl
let's go out past the party lights
where we can finally be alone
come with me and we can
take the long way home

I just heard this on the radio, I had to find the song immediately. It’s wonderful, thank you for putting it on here
I have to know what radio station you were listening to that played Tom Waits!
@@SeanJSlomka42 lol I wanna know too! I was about to ask... radio stations are all trash that i have listened to lately. I have to cut it off bc I get nauseated 🤣
Yes please let us know who was playing waits! They are about to get a load of new listeners
What station?
Probably Spotify or Pandora... There is no way a traditional FM radio station would play this song. Listening to traditional FM radio is like Groundhog's Day - the same songs you have heard time and time. But you really never know because once in a while it surprises you!
A truly fantastic song by the Man with the Gravel voice
As he said himself: how I love your broken china voice......
From morocco , this song still alive in my room
What a talent this guy's got to get to your inner soul.. truly sublime.
This song can instantly bring you to tears. Tom is so magical. The greatest American singer and songwriter in the History of The World.
Don't forget about Kathleen.
a little-known and understated masterpiece.
Those that take the long way home come back wiser because they made it count - - - real riches for all. Knowledge brings freedom. So let's pay attention that is the long way home.
Be well friend x
I think this is his best song and kind of need to see him perform it live.
How many bad ass albums does this guy have and it still blows my mind how many people don't know about Tom Waits. He did some of the best interviews with Letterman ever an entertainer in every way.
54ish??
I always loved TW. I started listening in Paris 1989 and been a close friend of mine since then.
My favorite song, thanks old Tom.
Beautiful song... From one of the best artists to walk the planet
Starbucks off Jackson Wyoming Town Square.....doing some writing on my laptop one evening some years back....going over notes and books.....people watching.....this comes on 😁
life is good
Tom Waits, so utterly real - more real han a circle ever can be iround.
I do not know any other coming even close to this immense originality + beauty + honesty and freedom.
Tom Waits . . . .keep at it, in these scary days . . . you remind FREEDOM perhaps still exhibit - If we just go and get it, ourselves.
He has so many good songs
There is no better writer and composer of nostalgia.
He's right next to Leonoard Cohen!!!!!
As a Montreal guy who's *very* partial to Cohen, I have to say that sadly there's no comparison. TW is by far the greater musician with all due respect to Cohen's merits as a lyricist, troubadour, ladies man and Montreal legend.
yes just on top
I love Leonard, but that an insult.
One of my favorites of his !
At the tip of the Tom waits iceberg. He certainly has a way with beauty
"got a head full of lightning, a hatful of rain"
As someone with bipolar this lyric hits hard.
Linda canción y una voz muy maravilla. ..
Maybe his most moving song! 😍
I think you may be right...devastating
"Let's go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
Come with me and we can take the long way home." ❤❤
His staggering genius is almost too much to bear sometimes.
I love it
Sweet Tom..
So Good
Great !
@ 00:01:50 I was half expecting the 'closed captions' to read :
(engine purring or Tom Waits humming)
Lovesong❤
Heard this on the Armstrong lie documentary I loved the song I need to down load it
Money's just something you throw off the back of a train
❤
'Watch your back if I should tell ya that loves the only thing I've ever known'...
Pictures of you are all I have left
In this rusty old mind, now yours.
you live there now, like an artist, for free.
painting pictures of closing doors
So erase the door darling, come let me in
In from the street and out of the rain
Have me sit at your side, have me lay on your bed
Let’s be lovers at last, again and again.
Everyone always says where they know a song from, but i think i have a pretty obscure one. I know this song fekm a trailer for a movie I never actually saw called Big Bad Love, which came out in 2001. I probably saw the trialer on a VHS tape.
i always take the WRONG way home
Ačiū
❤❤❤🇳🇵
Tom Waits writes the prettiest songs about the ugliest sides of life.
Yans
I can't think of a better song about infidelity.
norah jones brought me here
me too
She has a wonderful version as well.
Seek God. Fear God. Repent. Put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ
Haven't you heard? God's away on business...business.
@@TheMeanActor that's why you have to seek 🙏
Should I find God before or after Hell Broke Luce?
@@frankreads8618 before
Jesus for Heaven and this song for my wife💯
Sons of many bitches do a cover
Tony is worth the bass
Movies at machesney
Fight satan and his spineless minions..we always win..cuz JESUS BE JUST..over time...be happy in our persecution...Jesus loves those hated servants OF JESUS
❤
