The Wrong Way

What did it start with I can't muster what you said We won't get far with That kinda bounty on my head And I've got problems The whole world is partial to We can't go on if I'll just fall apart on you I don't wanna see that rosy red If it'll soon turn gray I don't wanna take this road ahead If it'll only change the sound I'm turning around The highway Ain't always the right way Despite what the miles say The long way Ain't always the wrong way Despite what the songs say It's always the wrong way back to you I didn't promise An evergreen existence With an armrest That must've been something you missed Back when you promised You see the ones you couldn't keep They kept me honest And now they keep me on my feet But I don't wanna be Some kinda clown If I am always blue I don't wanna keep this Fire around if it is only burning through My memory of you The highway Ain't always the right way Despite what the miles say The long way Ain't always the wrong way Despite what the songs say It's always the wrong way back to you I don't wanna feel like giving up The minute that I wake But I never feel I'm living up To every choice I make I don't wanna be the smile Right before the fade to black I don't wanna be the mile right before You're fine with where you're at The highway Ain't always the right way Despite what the miles say Yeah I'm taking the long way It ain't always the wrong way Despite what the songs say It's always the wrong way back to you
