Oh how I wish that was enough to Have made me want to stay. See I’m as true as I try to be And I must say my girl I tried the best to give to you All of the truest in the world. But when I left your house that morning in that ragged Thunderbird I tried so hard to fight the voices From the devils that I heard. See there’s a highway to the right of us I took a year ago And since a year ago can’t drive past Without turning down that road. [Chorus 1] (Strum E chord) And I knew it I never should have turned the wheel. And I knew it the voices calling me weren’t real. I knew it listen to the song they sing. I knew I was wrong and I knew I was wrong. |-------------------------------------------| G|-4-4h6-----------6-4--6-4----4--6-4--------| |---------------------------6---------6-/4--| |-------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------| D|-4-2--4-4/6------------6-2--4-/6--2-4--1-2-| |-------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------| [Verse 2] So give me a try at describing Just how difficult it is When you kind of love two girls To figure out which one you miss. Stumble away from your stairway With your perfume on my clothes. Well I kind of loved two girls But now I kind of lost them both. [Chorus 2] And I knew it I never should have turned the wheel. And I knew it the voices calling me weren’t real. I knew it listen to the song they sing. I knew I was wrong and I knew I was wrong. (done a capella in the original) And if I could gather up the damage That I’ve rendered in my life Place it on a scale and weigh against The damage done that night. Then it’d be safe to say The weight of all I did and didn’t do Would surly float against the lightest wrong I ever did to you.

La chanson évoque la difficulté des choix et les regrets liés à des relations amoureuses. Le narrateur se souvient d'une beauté qui l'a marqué, mais il réalise que son amour n'était peut-être pas suffisant pour construire une relation durable. Entre deux amours, il se sent perdu, cherchant à discerner celle qui lui manque vraiment. Les voix intérieures, représentées comme des démons, l'emmènent sur une route qu'il sait être pleine de dangers, le confrontant à ses erreurs passées. Cette lutte entre sentiments et actions crée une tension palpable, illustrant les complexités des relations humaines et des dilemmes émotionnels.
