Testo Long Way Around

I am just a traveling man Alone and in my shell Beaten by these broken times Wandering through this hell And I have taken chances And I've lost all my rules The answer's right in front of me And I have been a fool I keep taking the long way around Why must I take the long way around I keep thinkin' that I'm moving up When I'm losing my ground Why must I take the long way The long way around All I ever wanted In this life was to be poor Seduced by colors in my eyes Taken by the hand Of all the things I've ever wanted Of all the treasures in my life The greatest is the mind So why do I take the long way around Why must I take the long way around I keep thinking that I'm moving up When I'm losing my ground Why must I take the long way The long way around He told me what's the cost But only when the path is lost And whoever found an open door In this ocean of suffering If I've had anything I don't want to hide from me no more I am just a traveling man Alone and in my shell Beaten by these broken times Wandering through this hell And I have taken chances I've lost all my rules The answer is right in front of me I have been a fool I keep taking the long way around Why must I take the long way around I keep thinking that I'm moving up When I"m losing my ground I keep taking the long way The long way around I keep taking the long around I keep taking the long around I keep thinking that I'm moving up When I'm losing my ground I keep taking the long way The long way around
