Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Route That I Took lyrics

rate me

Without really knowing I took all the wrong routes<br />

The misguided monster in the Doc Marten boots<br />

In the wrong directions against all of the grains<br />

Got off at all the wrong stops, back onto all the wrong trains<br />

When holy hell just broke loose, to cut it I shut it down<br />

There was the substance abuse running rampant through town<br />

And when the trouble I had at the back door of the Channel<br />

A steady headache and a handful it was<br />

<br />

Too hard to handle<br />

Too hard to handle<br />

Time I took a good look at the route that I took<br />

<br />

Without a drop of the sense that God had gave to a stone<br />

But in my own self defense well I was not all alone<br />

I had the partners and colleagues and the cohorts in crime<br />

Heaven sent to me hell bent to be one hell of a time<br />

There was a swift sudden shift and way to many went south<br />

The deadly God given gift to junkies I kept my mouth shut<br />

While I made up my mind I had some choices to make<br />

Should I leave Hell far behind me just<br />

<br />

For Heaven's sake<br />

For Heaven's sake<br />

I just took a good look at the route that I took<br />

<br />

I took them all<br />

Can you recall<br />

The concert hall<br />

Down at the Bradford Ballroom I was tripping pretty hard I had dropped what I had copped down on the Boulevard<br />

<br />

Without suggesting to you the routes I took were never wrong<br />

I took a look and still I took and somehow I stayed strong<br />

And I just stayed on the course with very few deviations<br />

One of two situations some other odd altercations<br />

And when my days were to dark well I had something to sell<br />

I am the carnival barker with some stories to tell<br />

There'll be apologies made at every fork and each bend<br />

And I'm so glad that I stayed and I will<br />

<br />

Stay till the end<br />

Stay till the end<br />

Glad I took a good look at the route that I took<br />

<br />

Stay till the end<br />

Stay till the end<br />

Glad I took a good look at the route that I took
