I've been struggling to find the right roads to take all my life I detour to the left, then I detour to the right I travel on for miles thinking I finally got it right Then I have to double back when I realise And on the journey back I take another detour I'm even struggling to find the place I started from But there's plenty more roads to choose from So on I go I've topped up on my fuel and now I'm heading for the shore To get my fix of salty air to keep my lungs pure I pull up at the beach but I can't get out the door I think I wreaked it when I kicked it in the night before So I wind the window down and breathe as deep as I can Convince myself I'm satisfied and hit the road again But I'm still struggling to find them roads 'Cause the only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin I keep on burning fuel while I'm burning daylight Make a little pit stop, pick up the love of my life I always did get further with her by my side I told her, buckle up, might be a bumpy ride We made a little headway in the middle of the night But I think I turned left again, I should have turned right I warned her long ago about these roads I said, the only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin Yeah, the only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin The roads to ruin The only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin Only roads I've known are these roads The only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin The only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin Only roads I've known are these roads The only roads I've ever known are the roads to ruin
