I have trekked the emotional highway As all have done at some stage Disappointed in the direction it's been going If I continued it would lead me to rage I'm so glad I took the last exit Taking the backstreets for a bit of a change From there the views are much better More relaxed and a new friend I've gained What's the point of getting there faster When all you'll do is arrive dead and on time It's much better to stop and smell the roses Learn to live and know it's no crime That's why I'm taking you with me Cause I needed someone I could trust Keeping clear of that emotional highway I've earned the right to say "go eat me dust"
