Lyrics

I wonder how do you do And should I come back to you I've been thinking I wonder how do you do And should I come back to you I was lonely, sad and so distracted I took a highway It was the low way in disguise There because only My love had chain reacted There was a detour 'long the way - With a soft shoulder toll to pay - Leaving me a-lonely Sad and so distracted I was lonely, so sad and so distracted Taking the freeway but when I broke free I closed my eyes Mama, please hold me real close 'cause I've been fractured There was a detour along the way With a soft shoulder toll to pay Leavin' me a-lonely, Sad and so distracted Notice the teardrops running down on My cheek Notice the laughter Making it loud's a good disguise Taking my heartaches for a little ride On main street There was a detour 'long the way Just another heart that stalled today Leaving me a-lonely, sad and so Distracted (Play your horn, play on your horn) There was a detour 'long the way Just another heart that stalled today Leaving me a-lonely, sad and so Distracted Repeat
