You know if you walk down the street You see the same people that you always meet Don't be surprised, if I walk on by Without lookin' back, wavin' or sayin' hi This time I'm gonna take a different road Let's hope it takes me up, behind, below So this won't last, I'm gonna take a different road home I'm sick of seein' the same old thing The same old bee and the same old sting I'm sick of makin, the same old bread The kind you eat and you're still not fed I'm gonna take a different road Let's hope it takes me up, behind, below So this won't last, I'm gonna take a different road home. You see, I keep on makin' the same mistake The kind I give and the kind you take So I know I won't fall down and cry If I don't think twice to even say goodbye I'm gonna take a different road Take it up, behind, below So this won't last, I'm gonna take a different road home I'm gonna take a different road home I'm gonna take a different road home
