Put a bend in the road I'm too lost and tired To see where I'm going, what I left behind And I'm moving so slow, don't know when I'll arrive So put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines I set off for the shore, that was farthest away From the ones I adored, in the place I was raised And I roam down the road just to watch it go by And when nowhere is love, maybe nowhere am I Everyone needs a touch, or a shoulder for crying They say love is a crutch, I say love is blind And that's all that she needed, that I could not supply With a bend in the road, put it out of my mind Met a strange little girl, who was everything I ever dreamed I could love or be loved by So put a bridge, or a hill, or a forest of pines Or a river of blue I can run alongside And I'll sleep when it's night, I'll follow all the signs Just put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines Put a bend in the road, I'm growing tired of straight lines
