The Issue Remains

"The Long Way Around"
An EXCALIBUR LEVEL song by The Dixie Chicks

I Listen to This On Loop for Hours

*****

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
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
By taking the long way
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

Oh I just take my time, I won't lie down
And take 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
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around:

Tell yourself that. You're acting as if you don't have an Ivy League education. I forget. Are you in MENSA?

I am vilifying you for removing sane definitions from words.

There's never been a time in history when vilifying a whole group turned out well. But you're not a shaman. You don't even understand half of what I try to teach you. But I won't give up that one day you'll develop some critical thinking skills.

*Me knowing you know who I mean. The one pretending to be a girl.

This remains a sore subject with you because it's just plain silly.

I just don't get a Jewish man helping fascists target marginalized people. Like you won't be in a list sooner than later.

I am the you you aren't able to be.

That pisses you off, and your negativity is simple jealousy.
