I know this road, I've seen these signs
The stretch ahead is just a waste of time
Around that bend it's cold and bare
This road don't go nowhere

Nothin' I can do is gonna change things
Nothin's gonna make you mine
Any chance I had is behind me
Somewhere down another line

[chorus]
I'm gonna find a way to slow this old boy down
I'm gonna find a place to stop, and turn around...

With all my detours and dead ends
You'd think by now I'd learn
But every time I hit the street again
I make the same wrong turn
