The Bottle Rockets - The Long Way lyrics

rate me

Met a child of the Cosmos <br />On the streets of Kanab <br />He pointed the way and <br />Answered the questions I had <br />But a short cut through Utah <br />Doesn’t really exist <br />It’ll send you through a mountain <br />And out a hole in a cliff <br /> <br />Left Flagstaff in the morning <br />To make Salt Lake by night <br />Driving across the moon <br />Hoping that it’s right <br />Went into a fog <br />Near the state line <br />But didn’t care much <br />About losing time <br /> <br />It’s true a wrong turn <br />Can put you in a wrong place <br />But it could lead to <br />A way cooler space <br />You'll never have a bad trip <br />If you accept <br />The twists and the turns <br />That you don’t expect <br /> <br />On Highway 80 <br />Just out of the hills <br />Hit something slick <br />About took a spill <br />On the plateau <br />In snow axle deep <br />Still got to Rock Springs <br />In time for some sleep <br /> <br />Been a mile high <br />For nearly a week <br />But it’ll wear off <br />Under twelve hundred feet <br />Coming down soon <br />Traveling I-35 <br />Playing songs and <br />Glad to be alive <br /> <br />It’s true a wrong turn <br />Can put you in a wrong place <br />But it could lead to <br />A way cooler space <br />You'll never have a bad trip <br />If you accept <br />The twists and the turns <br />That you don’t expect<br /><br />
