Did not find a listing for this, so I
sat down and figured it out.
This is also one of my favorite Kate Wolf songs.

take the long way home on the backroads of this life
Am7 D7 G C
..taking time to see what goes by.

Coming and going, there's no dividing line. What you're

ain't always the best. Sometimes let a backroad take you home
