I was caught

having an affair after work

Late home, smile across my face

Sure, I’d said we would take it slow

but one thing led to another

and before I could stop

I was off the motorway

on the backroads

with my turbo charged lady

Past sheep and through forest

long straights and winding curves

the back roads have no deadlines

they have no commitments

all they ask is for a childish grin.

There’s nothing better

than taking the long way home.
