So, you think you're a stable one
Playing parts in reality shows
Well, take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're stealin' good?
Well, take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
There are times that you feel you're King of all royalty
All the markets are comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're a fool with insanity
Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice
When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the extreme right
And take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
You'll never be what you want to be
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the wrong way home
Take the wrong way home
When you're up on the stage, it's so insufferable
Oh, unforgettable, how they adored you
But then your wife seems to think you suffer from insanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be, for you are nuts, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
Oh, what you might have been
If you would have more time
So when the day comes to step on down
Who's to blame if you're underground?
You took the wrong way home
You took the wrong way home
Wrong way home
Wrong way home
