Take The Wrong Way Home
[Verse 1]
So you ignore the Romans Road
Picking apart what the Scriptures show
You take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
You sure do joke 'bout my favorite book
You should be scared, but you're feelin' good
You take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
[Chorus 1]
But there's a highway that feels like part of the scenic route
Oh, but Jesus knew - it's going down, boy
Then your life seems to take a hard, sudden curvature
Oh, it's for you to learn
And you should heed those signs
[Verse 2]
But though your way's turned to snow and ice
You say that Scripture's uncivilized
And take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
You'd rather see what you wanna see
Forever prayin' to the galaxy
You take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
[Chorus 2]
But written up on the page is Proverbs 14, verse 12
Oh, hope you read it well
And may it warn you
And there's a wise man who thinks what you seek is vanity
Oh, humanity
It gives you no way out
Ohh yeah!
[Instrumental]
Ooh, check it -- check it out
Yeah -- I think you're fakin' now?
Ooo-ooh-ooh yeah
[Chorus 3]
And though you feel that your life's been coming too fast to seek
Oh, the path you need for you to go home
When you look through the years you'll see where you could've been
Oh, but the pride of sin gripped you and sapped your time
[Verse 3]
So when they take up the heaven bound
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the wrong way home, you took the wrong way home
You took the wrong way home (you'd do it again) you took the wrong way home
You took the wrong way home (so lost) you took the wrong way home
You took the wrong way home (ooh yeah) you took the wrong way home
[Break]
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhh
[Outro]
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
