The Crooked Way

The Crooked Way
Music by John McVey,
Lyric by John McVey, Peter Gallway, Annie Gallup

When I left home no one seemed to notice
But with my fortunes yet to find
I turned my back on the sweet familiar
And headed straight for that horizon line

You never know where this life will take ya
I don’t believe we’re supposed to know
In spite of your self this life will make ya
Go exactly where you’re s'posed to go
CH: When the road divides just up ahead
You can’t go back and you can’t stay
As hard as you try to find the straight way through
You have to go the crooked way
I wasn’t lookin on the day I met ya
I couldn’t have aimed myself so true
And I can’t even begin to tell ya
The crooked way that I came to you
CH:
Sometimes I’m so scared that I don’t even want to try
cuz if there’s a road as straight as a crow might fly it
sure enough I’ll drive right by it

Thinking back along the way that brought me
A stubborn man with his pockets full of fear
It was a kindly hand that taught me
There’s only one way from there to here
CH:
