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 far less 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
