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
