1
I took a wrong turn off of an unmarked track
2
I did seven miles I couldn't find my way back
3
Hit a lonely stretch, must be losing my touch,
4
I was out of my depth
5
Land was so flat, could well have been ocean
6
No distinguishing feature in any direction
7
I took her down inch-by-inch to the floor
8
And I pointed her nose through a crack in the door
9
Fingering my sliver St Cristopher
10
and saving my empty shells for her
11
When night closed in up around my neck
12
My high beam dug deep into the black
13
And a shiver broke out up and down my back
14
Yes a shiver broke out up and down my back
15
Well I could have been mistaken
16
But I swear that I caught something in my headlights
17
on that cold night, without another living thing in sight
18
Without another living soul in sight
19
I sing Sha Ia, sha Ia Ia
20
I hit a lonely stretch
21
Oh baby I was wrong I was wrong from the start
22
You could die out here from a broken heart
23
We were two wrongs we were married at birth
24
And together make up one ugly flaming bird
25
Heck I pumped it and then I moved up into third
26
Could have sworn you were shining right there on the verge
27
I never should have let you out of my sight
28
I never should have let that precious spirit escape
29
And I sing, to myself, I sing, to myself
30
I was wrong, wrong from the start
31
You could die out here from a broken heart
32
We were two wrongs, we were married at birth
33
And together make up an ugly flaming bird
34
Now my memorys shot I've got a bad technique
35
Could be driving in circles till the end of the week
36
But my vision is strong, and my vision is true
37
Look out now! I'll be so good for you!
38
Well .....
39
Theres a spot on a map, its just a tiny dot
40
That's where my sweetie lives, you know that means a lot
41
I think of her sitting in the afternoon sun
42
Sitting and drinking and having fun.
43
I took a wrong turn, I took a wrong turn
44
I hit a lonely stretch
45
Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
46
Guide me back to the bosom of Abraham
47
So high can't get over it, so low can't get under it,
48
So wide can't get around it, I took a wrong turn, etc.
