Next time you see Natalie, tell her that, if her father is dead, I would be most proud to adopt her.... Maines says she's not looking for more battles, but she won't shy away from any, either. "Everything was so nice and fine and happy for us for the longest time", she says of their pre-incident days. "It was awesome to find those feelings again that I felt in high school; to be angry, to be sure that you're right and that the things you do matter. You don't realize that you're not feeling these feelings until you do. And then you realize how much more interesting life is." :>) 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 takin’ the long way Takin’ the long way around Takin’ the long way Takin’ 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 takin’ the long way Takin’ the long way around I’m takin’ the long way Takin’ the long way around The long 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 Takin’ the long way Takin’ the long way around Takin’ the long way Takin’ the long way around…..
