We were driding in the country woods
And we didn't know why we were there.
Well, maybe we were runnin' from the big city
Or maybe we were runnin' to the mountain air.
And then we came upon a cabin of a diner
And oh,
How they did stare.
I said "Hry...
We're feelin' kinds weary
We been drivin' all day
And we need a place to stay."
And they said
"Baby there ain't no shortcuts on your way.
Baby there ain't no highways in these parts.
You know baby gonna have to drive yourself down
Every little windy road
If you really want to et where you're goin'.
Well I was sitting on the therapist couch
And I didn't why I was there.
Well, maybe I was runnin' from the big issues
Or maybe I was runnin'to a listenin' ear.
And then I came upon a maze of emotion
And oh,
How I did fear.
I said "Hey...
What's the quickest way out of this mess to that happiness?"
Said "Hey...
I'm feelin' kinda weary,
I been cryin' all day
And I need a little break."
And they said
"Baby there ain't no shortcuts on your way.
Baby there ain't no highways in these parts.
You know, baby gonna have to drive yourself down
Every little windy road
If you really want to get where you're goin'."
Well, I was sittin' in the meditation hall
And I didn't kow why I was there.
Well, maybe I was runnin' from the noise outside
Or maybe I was runnin' to the stillness there.
And then I came upon greed, hatred and delusion
And oh, how I did fear.
I said "Hey...
What's the quickest way to freedom and love,
How do I rise above?"
Said "Hey...
I'm feelin' kinda weary,
I've been sittin' all day
With my mind in dissaray."
And they said
"Baby there ain't no shortcuts on your way.
Baby there ain't no highways in these parts.
You know, baby gonna have to drive yourself down
Every little windy road
If you really want to get where you're goin'."
If you really want to get where you're goin.
If you really want to get where you're goin.
