We used to be so happy, we used to be so true We used to think there wasn't anything we couldn't do But they could see right through us we didn't seem to care We were on a highway that ain't going anywhere They told us we were wrong, a thousand times We rode out to the country and got tangled in the pines We tried to take it slowly, we tried to understand That we'd be on a one way trip if things got outta hand We lost our direction, you could say we lost our touch Now all of those petty things don't seem to matter much I can take your blame if you take mine We rode out to the country and got tangled in the pines Now we're lost forever along the roadway side But I can't say, "I'm sorry that we took that foolish ride" We couldn't get along at all, no we just disagreed You drove me to the point where I just drove into the trees I guess we should have seen the warning signs When we drove out to the country and got tangled in the pines They told us we were wrong, a thousand times So we rode out to the country and got tangled in the pines
