“Detours” is the first single Jordan has released in 2020. According to Jordan, this song is his most personal as he claims he was inspired by just meeting his wife Kristen for the first time.
The song itself describes how Jordan lived his life as if it were a party, and he didn’t mind it. He “smok...
[Verse 1]
I was a renegade ragtop revvin' up an engine
Hell yeah, why not take it to the limit?
I would smoke it if you had it at a high school party
Passin' 'round a bottle 'round a bonfire in the woods
Look at me wrong, you damn right, I'd fight ya
Parents got divorced, kinda dog that would bite ya
And I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em and it was what it was
And it is what it is and I wouldn't change it if I could
[Chorus]
Yeah, I lost my way
Damn near lost my mind
Pedal to the metal, let the devil lead me blind
I was way outside the lines
Yeah, and I got way off track
Took some wrong turns lookin' back
It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view
But I thank the good Lord for the detours to you
[Verse 2]
She was an everything but the wings angel outta nowhere
'Cross the room, crooked smile and I just had to go there
Sittin' with a group of friends and sippin' on a glass of red
And I don't remember what I said, but she wrote her number down
All I ever wanted, but never knew I needed
She's the dotted line and every sign that led me straight to Jesus
Was a voice that made me hit the brakes
Slow it down, have some faith
And I had to learn from my mistakes, but I'm on the right road now
[Chorus]
Yeah, I lost my way
Damn near lost my mind
Pedal to the metal, let the devil lead me blind
I was way outside the lines
Yeah, and I got way off track
Took some wrong turns lookin' back
It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view
And I thank the good Lord for the detours to you
Yeah, the detours to you
[Bridge]
Well, I lost my way
Damn near lost my mind
Pedal to the metal, let the devil lead me blind
I was way outside the lines
[Chorus]
And I got way off track
Took some wrong turns lookin' back
It's been one hell of a ride in my rear view
And only He knows all the hell I had to go through
I thank Him for the detours to you
All the detours to you
