[Verse 1]
Met a girl just a few streets down
Both her folks are from my neck of town
We get to talkin' and the sun goes down so slow
Turns out we like the same old things
Gettin' lost in the trees where we came
We get to talkin' 'bout the greats of rock 'n' roll
[Chorus]
She said she likes to take the long way home
She said she likes Skynyrd and the Rolling Stones
She said she likes a beach chair out on the lawn
She said, "How about you?"
I said, "I like the back porch lit at night
Evеry now and then, a couple Malboro lights
I think I need someonе like you in my life"
I said, "How about you?"
[Post-Chorus]
I said, "How about you?"
I said, "How about you?"
I said, "How about you?"
I said, "How about you?"
[Verse 2]
We keep talkin' 'til the bar runs dry
The type of girl who handles whiskey and rye
She's been shootin' stares down all night
She don't need no one around
She's been pullin' every one of my strings
Got me dancin' like a fool without a name
I asked her how we could be so much the same
She said, "I'll tell you how" (Yeah)
[Chorus]
She said she likes to take the long way home
She said she likes Skynyrd and the Rolling Stones
She said she likes a beach chair out on the lawn
She said, "How about you?"
I said, "I like the back porch lit at night
Every now and then, a couple Malboro lights
I think I need someone like you in my life"
I said, "How about you?"
[Outro]
I said, "How about you?"
I said, "How about you?"
I said, "How about you?"
I said, "How about you?"
