Tina Dickow - The Road (A Detour) lyrics

Driving up the coast Eyes on the road Nowhere in particular to go Eyes on the road You asked me what's my philosophy And I say "Well there is one thing I know about being happy It's not about taming your pain and your fear and your enemy You gotta let 'em all loose and surrender to life's uncertainty" Eyes on the road The road The road The road Eyes on the road She quoted one of my sadest songs The day she broke your sacred heart She said "I don't know which I prefer: to stay or go But I've decided on the road" You asked me what is my advice And it's true I've been down this road once or twice And there are things you can't change and defeats you can't deny And you'll waste your time and your life and your love if you try Eyes on the road The road The road The road The road The road The road The road Eyes on the road
