Country music crooner Brett Eldredge‘s romantic tune “The Long Way” now has an equally sweet music video which stars Duck Dynastry alum, 20-year-old Sadie Robertson. The ‘aww-worthy’ track was penned by Eldredge alongside Matt Rogers and is the latest single off of the Illinois native’s recent self-titled album.
“For me, ‘Long Way’ stands out as such a powerful look at love and that search for something deeper. It’s about that big moment when you finally meet the person you’ve been waiting to meet, and you want to know everything about them. You don’t just want a quick breeze through their hometown and life, you want to take the long way. It’s a beautiful sentiment about love,” the singer-songwriter said about the song.

“The Long Way” Lyrics
Don’t think I’ve ever seen your kind of pretty
Wondering ’round this midnight mad house city
You got a look that says you got it all together
So if you don’t, mind I’d like to know you better
Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath
Of the diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
I’d love to see just where your daddy met your momma
Your hand-me-down ’99 Impala
Show me the field you danced in Clover
The harvest in October
When the leaves fall from the sky just like a Sunday drive
Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath
Of the diamond I think I just found
Take me the long way around
I didn’t think tonight when I walked in
I’d be falling for somewhere I’ve never been
Take me the long way around your town
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
I want your red blushing stories
Your faults and your glories
That made you who you are right now
Take me the long way around
Take me the long way around
