[Verse 1] Rollin’ down life’s highway, No worries in a while, Up ahead without warning Detour sign-- half a mile. New road cuts through rough country, Lost, I just can’t tell, Road gets worse with every mile, Feels like I'm crossin’ into hell. Mm Hmmm [Chorus] Sometimes that’s the way life’s road travels, Always expectin’ a straight line, You hope for a path of least resistance, But that ain’t the way life’s road goes. [Verse 2] You see bright lights in the distance, But they’re slippin’ farther away, Gotta find the road that leads me to ’em, Mash the gas, stomp the brakes-- shiftin' gears Hopin' soon brighter days get near, Fog gets thick -- I'm in a haze, Another damned ole' dead-end, Blocks those brighter days. Mm Hmmm [Chorus] Sometimes that’s the way life’s road travels, Always expectin’ a straight line, You hope for the path of least resistance, But that ain’t the way life’s road goes. [Bridge] Sometimes you reach your destination, Sometimes you feel completely lost, Then there’s nights you keep on drivin’, Wonder if the journey’s worth the cost. [Final Chorus] Yeah, sometimes that’s the way life’s road travels, Always expectin’ a straight line, You hope for the path of least resistance, But that ain’t the way… No, that ain’t the way life’s road goes.
