The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Route That I Took lyrics

Without really knowing I took all the wrong routes The misguided monster in the Doc Marten boots In the wrong directions against all of the grains Got off at all the wrong stops, back on to all the wrong trains When holy hell just broke loose, to cut it out shut it down There was the substance abuse running rampant through town And when the trouble I had at the back door of the Channel A steady headache and a handful it was Too hard to handle - Too hard to handle Time I took a good look at the route that I took Without a drop of the sense that God had gave to a stone But in my own self defense well I was not all alone I had the partners and colleagues and the cohorts in crime Heaven sent to me hell bent to be one hell of a time There was a swift sudden shift and way to many went south The deadly God given gift to junkies I kept my mouth shut While I made up my mind I had some choices to make Should I leave Hell far behind me just For Heaven's sake - For Heaven's sake I just took a good look at the route that I took I took them all, can you recall the concert hall down at the Bradford Ballroom I was tripping pretty hard I had dropped what I had copped down on the Boulevard Without suggesting to you the routes I took were never wrong I took a look and still I took and somehow I stays strong And I just stayed on the course with very few deviations One of two situations some other odd altercations And when my days were to dark well I had something to sell I am the carnival barker with some stories to tell There'll be apologies made at every fork and each bend And I'm so that I stayed and I will Stay till the end - Stay till the end Glad I took a good look at the route that I took Stay till the end - Stay till the end Glad I took a good look at the route that I took
