It might have looked like I was chasing my tail   It might have looked like I was lost   There were times when deciding which way to go   Came down to a quarter tossed   It's been a long time coming   I been a long time running      CHORUS      Oh, oh,oh,oh stright to you   In a round-about way   After twenty-odd years and as many heartaches   Straight to you   Took a couple wrongs turns   And a whole book of matches for the bridges to burn   Yeah, I burned a few   Oh, oh, oh straight to you      I'm living broof that even a fool   Can stumble on the Promised Land   How nothing can go like you wanted it to   Still turn out just like you planned   I've seen my share of leaving
