[Instrumental Intro | mid-tempo shuffle | brooding guitar] [Verse 1 | weathered | world weary vocal] Every road I take leads somewhere wrong Been driving since before I knew this song Maps don't show the detours in your soul Some destinations swallow you up whole [Chorus | haunted | raw] Crooked road home, crooked road home Every straight path I had turned to stone Crooked road home, ain't got long Just a tired man trying to make it home [Verse 2 | weary | raw] Passed through towns that didn't know my name Left before they got the chance to place my frame Something always pulling at my back Like the road itself won't let me leave its track [Guitar Solo | brooding | mid-range grit] [Chorus | haunted | raw] Crooked road home, crooked road home Every straight path I had turned to stone Crooked road home, ain't got long Just a tired man trying to make it home [Outro | slow dissolve | guitar fading] Crooked road… crooked road home…
