This track reminds me of when I was a freshman in college and had a roommate that was from Guyana.
The song itself has a tinge of influence from Thin Lizzy, Van Dyke Parks, and Billy Joel.
lyrics
and I think I should have taken the other way
yes I guess I should have taken the other way
I have come to see
I gotta turn the other way
else I'm going to seal my fate my friend
my friend
time to change my tune
what else could I do
time to turn the other cheek my friend
my friend
and I think I should have taken the other way
yes I guess I could have taken the other way
all the words they don't mean much
you had them in your clutch
and I guess I should have known my friend
my friend
how was I to see
you wanna make a fool of me
I don't think you're gonna like how that ends
how that ends
and I think I should have taken the other way
yes I guess I should have taken the other way
I don't know who think you are
but it don't look like you're getting far
and I think I should have taken the other way
(other way)
yes I guess I should have taken the other way
(other way)
and I know I should have taken the other way
(other way)
yes I guess I should have taken the other way
