The Wrong Way Lyrics

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
