Detour

Robert James

Eh.

Pretty far from my best. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and then I compounded the weakness by playing badly and messing up some edits. Oh well.

Guitars are all Les Paul.

Just when you think you know the way
They go and put a detour in your lane

want to go around
I can’t go around
I want to move ahead
I can’t move ahead
I want to get along
I can’t get along
I want to push through
I can’t push through

I thought that I finally figured it out
