The Road (A Detour)

Driving up the coast
Eyes on the road
Nowhere in particular to go
Eyes on the road

You asked me what's my philosophy
And I say "Well there is one thing I know about being happy
It's not about taming your pain and your fear and your enemy
You gotta let 'em all loose and surrender to life's uncertainty"

Eyes on the road
The road
The road
The road
Eyes on the road

She quoted one of my sadest songs
The day she broke your sacred heart
She said "I don't know which I prefer: to stay or go
But I've decided on the road"

You asked me what is my advice
And it's true I've been down this road once or twice
And there are things you can't change and defeats you can't deny
And you'll waste your time and your life and your love if you try

Eyes on the road
The road
The road
The road
The road
The road
The road
The road
Eyes on the road
