Taking Back Roads

Corey Crowder

We take directions for faces we don't see 
The world is beneath us and we both know this isn't forever 
So we keep our guards up 
There's noone to trust here, so we move on 

This is a lesson, I'll take the interstate 
We both know there's a simpler state of mind, that waits for us in time 
This is the last time I'll make the same mistake 
Which way's back? 
I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time 

The tables are turning but no one is listening, 
And if we are smart then we'll move fast 
Cause we are all driving, we're all moving quickly 
We're trying to slow down before things go too far 

This is the last time I'll take the interstate 
We both know there's a simpler state of mind, that waits for us in time 
This is the last time I'll make the same mistake 
Which way's back? 
I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time 

Taking back roads, to where God only knows 
We take our time and get there when we can 
We're taking back roads, to where God only knows 
Write this down so we don't forget 

And this is the last time I'll take the interstate 
And we both know there's a simpler state of mind, in time 
And this is the last time I'll make the same mistake 
Which way's back? 
I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time
